The foundations of the underground car park are currently being laid and the car park is expected to be put into use in the fourth quarter of this year, alleviating Minguo Street’s car park congestion.

The second stage project around Minguo Street will put more focus on visitor entertainment and experience. Visitors will be able to experience the culture and scenery of the Minguo period (1912-1949) after the project is completed. A professional film group will record some period dramas on the street and visitors will be able to wear traditional costumes from the Minguo period, as well as participate in some roles in the drama.
Minguo Street is located in the Liangjiang International Studio City in Southwest China's Chongqing municipality.
