The Chongqing People's Liberation Monument was built in 1947 to commemorate China's victory in the Anti-Japanese War (1937-1945). The area around the monument, which is located in the Yuzhong District, was China's first commercial pedestrian street. In 2004, the total sales on the street exceeded 20.7 billion yuan (US$3.37 billion), making it one of the most famous business streets in China. If you want to enjoy modern Chongqing, Liberation Monument is a must-see attraction.
