About Jiefangbei (People's Liberation Monument)
The clock tower at the heart of Chongqing's main shopping district, built in 1946–47 as the Monument to the Victory in the War of Resistance on the site of a wartime wooden 'Spiritual Fortress', and renamed the People's Liberation Monument in 1950. The octagonal tower, with clock faces and relief panels near the top, stands where Minzu, Minquan and Zourong roads meet, in a pedestrian square ringed by malls and office towers. It is the usual starting point for exploring central Yuzhong, with Hongyadong a short walk to the north.
