Changchun Renmin Avenue is one of the longest avenues in Asia, with a total length of about 13.7 kilometers, connecting the city center from north to south. In addition to its important traffic function, Renmin Avenue also has excellent landscape functions, because the block brings together many well-known buildings and scenic spots, and is the city card of Changchun!

The picture shows Changchun in the 80s, where a "Big Mac" bus is parked on the side of the road. This was the popular trolleybus in the major cities of the motherland at that time, and it was the main force of public transportation. This kind of car is made of two carriages connected, the advantage is that the volume is large, the disadvantage is that it occupies too much space, so it is slowly eliminated later!
The photo above is Changchun in the 80s, the Welcome Building
The picture shows the Changchun Yingbin Building in the 1980s, and I believe that the older generation of Changchun people must be familiar with the Yingbin Building, because it is a place where Changchun people often feast. At that time, the Yingbin Building was one of the rare restaurants in Changchun City that could do the major cuisines of the motherland in the north and south, so it was very popular with the people of Changchun!
The photo above is Changchun in the 80s, rock sugar gourd
The picture shows Changchun in the 1980s, a vendor selling rock sugar gourds selling along the street. At that time, rock sugar gourds were often seen on the streets of Changchun and even all over the northeast. There is a saying that the rock sugar gourd originated in the northeast region, because the weather here is cold, the syrup is drizzled on the fruit and frozen, biting like ice, hence the name!
The photo above is Changchun in the 80s, tramway
In Changchun in the 1980s, the crowd was waiting for the tram to arrive at the tram stop. Changchun is the earliest city in the motherland to have trams, and by the 1980s, Changchun has built a number of tram lines, providing great convenience for the travel of the public! Therefore, the public has long been accustomed to the way of riding trams.
