Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street

Located in the core of Yuzhong District, Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street revolves around the 27.5-meter-high People’s Liberation Monument, a historical landmark built to commemorate China’s victory in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. As the landmark commercial pedestrian street of western China opened in 1997, it covers interconnected plazas, high-end shopping malls, Bayi Food Street and cross-street overpasses, forming a three-dimensional mountain-city business circle that combines century-old local catering, international fashion brands and urban cultural check-in spots. The striking contrast between the solemn historic monument and surrounding modern skyscrapers perfectly interprets Chongqing’s integration of profound historical memory and fashionable urban vitality, and it serves as the city’s official geographic zero point for measuring distances across Chongqing.
