Many things happened in Chengdu in 1999 that promoted the development of Chengdu.
At the end of 1999, Wangfujing Department Store stood proudly at the north entrance of Chunxi Road, and also brought Chengdu’s first McDonald’s. On the opening day, the mall originally opened at 10 a.m., but McDonald's started its first business in Chengdu at 7 a.m. and was forced to stay open all night. Children at that time probably still remember how their father walked through the sea of ??people, queued up in a long line, and spent 200 yuan to buy French fries, fried chicken and Coke. The family happily enjoyed this foreign fast food. . At that moment, not only their taste buds blossomed, but their curiosity and sense of glory were all satisfied. Although such bustling scenes will become commonplace in Chengdu in the future, at that moment, the children in Chengdu deeply felt the progress of Chengdu.
The arrival of many enterprises and merchants gave Chunxi Road in 1999 the appearance of a ten-mile foreign market. At night, the lights turn on at the night market, and the roaring sales of goods like a market reflect the culture and folk customs of Chengdu. Since then, Chunxi Road has been the center of people's life in Chengdu and a paradise for shoppers. Tianfu Square, another major landmark in Chengdu, was originally named Renmin South Road Square and was renamed Tianfu Square in 1999. Residents who have moved away from both sides of the square due to the expansion can clearly see the process of Tianfu Square becoming a "Tai Chi Diagram" in the past few decades. This is a place for leisure and entertainment for Chengdu people.
On October 1, 1999, a giant national flag was hung at the Provincial Exhibition Hall in Tianfu Square. People gathered together to celebrate the National Day in Tianfu Square, and Chengdu was bustling with excitement.
In 1999, Chengdu was transforming step by step.
