Fuxingmen Outer Street
Fuxingmen Outer Street (Hanyu Pinyin: Fuxingmen Wai Dajie) is a major street in urban Beijing. It forms part of the extended Chang'an Avenue. It starts off from Fuxing Road in the west until Fuxingmen Bridge in the east. It is a major commercial hub of Beijing, dwindled only by its more eastern counterparts -- Xidan and Wangfujing. The Chang'an Market lies in this location. Until 2003, the nationwide committee building of the All-China National Trade Union sat along the street for 50 years until it was detonated and demolished. A new building is expected in a few years' time. Line 1 of the Beijing subway runs along the route.
