Changpu River Resurfaces

2002/06/01

Visitors to Tian'anmen Square will soon have a long-buried, nearby small river to enjoy. Called Changpu, and also known as the Outer Changpu River, it is now being excavated and readied for the construction of four bridges before being officially opened in August this year.

The 510-meter river is part of the 3.8-hectare Changpu Park Project, which lies west of the Working People's Cultural Palace and east of Nanheyan Dajie. Changpu River will be nine meters in width and up to two meters in depth.
