Zhongshan Avenue
中山大道
A century-old main road in Hankou, now a pedestrian-friendly historic street lined with many early modern banks and old commercial buildings.
Zhongshan Avenue is one of the earliest main urban roads in Hankou. It was originally the Houcheng Road, built in 1907, and it is about 7.6 km long. After its 2016 renovation, the section from Yiyuan Road to Wusheng Road became a historic and cultural street focused on walking and public transport. Along the way are a water tower, Dazhimen Railway Station, the former headquarters of the New Fourth Army in Hankou, and modern buildings such as the Continental Bank, the Commercial Bank of Siming and the Industrial Bank of China. It meets Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street. It's a great route for walking from Jianghan Road past old buildings and trying local snacks. Free. Accessible via Jianghan Road Station on Metro Line 2 or Dazhi Road Station on Line 6.
