  Originally built in 1725 during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, near the Confucius Temple by Fuzichi, it was a sacred place for scholars to pray for literary fortune. However, it was demolished in 1953 due to dilapidation. In the 1990s, during the renovation of the Linjiangmen area, it was relocated and expanded to its current site. What makes Kuixing Tower truly fascinating is its magical terrain. The ground - floor plaza and the plaza on the 22nd floor are connected, creating an optical illusion where you think you are on the 1st floor, but in fact, you are on the 22nd floor. The suspended bridge between the two high - rise buildings, about 65 meters above the ground, offers a stunning view of the Jialing River and the cityscape. It was also a filming location for the movie Better Days, which has attracted many fans to check in.

  Jiefangbei Square

  As Chongqing’s iconic landmark, the Liberation Monument (officially People's Liberation Monument) is the only monument in China commemorating the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Nestled in the heart of Yuzhong District’s bustling pedestrian street, it blends profound history with vibrant modernity, making it a must-visit for every traveler. Originally built in 1941 as the "Spiritual Fortress" to boost national morale during the war, it was reconstructed in 1947 as the "Monument to the Victory of the War of Resistance". In 1950, it was renamed by Liu Bocheng, bearing witness to the nation’s struggle and liberation. This 27.5-meter-tall octagonal structure, with clocks on its top, is a national key cultural relic protection unit and a symbol of Chongqing’s resilience.
