As the largest open area in Changchun City, Changchun Cultural Square is located at the center of the city, covering 20.5 hectares. It is the second-largest in the world (after Tian'anmen), and was to be the site of a Japanese palace.
The main north-south road runs from the center of Xinminzhu Street to the main building of the square, the central axis line being 420 meters long. In the north is an open-air music forum, with the 10,000-square-meter front square of the main building traversing the east-west main road. The roads are laid with granite stones, creating a natural, solemn and steady impression.
