Jiefangbei is the iconic landmark of Chongqing, located in the heart of Yuzhong District. It is both a historical symbol and the commercial center of the city. Construction of Jiefangbei began in 1940 as the “Monument to the Victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression,” and it was officially completed in 1947. After the liberation of Chongqing in 1949, it was renamed the “People’s Liberation Monument,” symbolizing the great victory of the people’s liberation. Standing at 27.5 meters tall, the monument features an octagonal columnar structure with a solemn and elegant appearance, blending traditional Chinese architectural styles with modern elements.
Today, Jiefangbei is not only a historical and cultural symbol of Chongqing but also the core of the city’s most bustling commercial pedestrian street. It is surrounded by numerous high-end shopping centers, fashionable brand stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues, making it an ideal place for visitors to experience both the modern urban life and rich cultural heritage of Chongqing.
