The Central Street, or the Central Avenue, is called Zhongyang Dajie in Chinese. As the longest pedestrian street in Asia, it measures 1450 meters in length and 21.34 meters in width, it is the only cobbled street in Harbin. The Central Street is a junction where both Harbin's modern and past civilizations can be seen. It interprets the city perfectly and has witnessed the most brilliant European cultural development for more than 300 years.

History of The Central Street

The constrction of the street began in 1898. It was called "Chinese Street" at its early age and gained its present name in the late 1920s. Originally, the street was opened up by carts used to transport railway supplies. In May, 1924, the street was floored with square stones according to a Russian engineer's design. Since then it has become a rendezvous of numerous foreign shops, hotels, and bars. Russian leather, British woolen cloth, French perfume, German medicine and plenty more can be found in this fashionable street. In 1997, Harbin government appointed the street as a pedestrian street, which added greater charm to this enchanting location.
