It is 400 meters long (an additional 290 meters were built after liberation) and about 7 meters wide. There are gate towers in the north and south. The houses on both sides are all made of blue bricks and black tiles, and the floors are paved with granite strips. They still maintain their original appearance during the Great Revolution. The former site of the Red Fourth Front Army Headquarters, the former site of the Qiliping Trade Union, the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Special Economic Zone Soviet Bank, and the Huang'an County Soviet Economic Commune , the Soviet Cooperation Canteen, the ruins of Yangyin Street in Lenin City, the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Chinese and Western Pharmacy Bureau, and the Qiliping Revolutionary Court are all concentrated on this street. Changsheng Street, as a street of revolutionary cultural relics, is not only a good tourist attraction for traditional education and tourism, but also a good place for filming revolutionary themes and film and television dramas. In recent years, "The Cold War" and "The Red Flag on the Dabie Mountains" have been filmed on Changsheng Street.
