Chongqing Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street,Jiefangbei Shangye Buxingjie

Jiefangbei, which stands in the most prosperous downtown of Chongqing is not only the symbol of civilization but also the evidence for history of half a century. Jiefangbei, or the People’ s Liberation Monument, formerly known as the Monument of Victory in the War of Resistance, is a 27.5 meter highs structure.

It was later renamed and had its new name inscribed by Mr. Liu Bocheng on 1 October 1950. This drab clock tower is for the celebration of the Communists’ liberation of the city from seventy years of colonial and right-wing occupation.

It is the Center of the city marked as Chongqing’s commercial heart. It is isolated by broad, paved pedestrian square and glassy offices. The shopping square, completed at the end of 1997, is 400 meters from east to west, and 350 meters from north to south, covering an area of 24,400 square meters.

Around the square are more than 3,000 stores and shops of various kinds, with two dozen large malls and shopping centers, a dozen star-grade hotels, and over 300 establishments and offices such as banks, stock markets, postal and telecommunication services and places for entertainment.

The area is packed with noisy, well-dressed crowds investigating the latest imports piled high at several of the departmental stores, flitting between restaurants, and blithely disregarding the signs asking them not to litter.
