Chongqing June 5th Tunnel Tragedy Museum

The center of downtown Chongqing. Jiefangbei, or the People’s Liberation Monument, formerly known as the Monument of Victory in the War of Resistance (World War II), is a 27.5-meter-high structure. Around the monument is a broad, paved pedestrian square lined by numerous glassy office skyscrapers and highrise hotels, reminiscent of New York's Times Square or Tokyo's Shibuya district. Jiefangbei Shopping Square, completed in 1997, has a 400-by-350-meter footprint. Around the square are more than 3,000 stores of various kinds, including more than two dozen large malls and shopping centers, dozens of star-graded hotels, and offices such as banks, stock markets, trade and finance companies, postal and telecommunication services, and places of entertainment.

A historic neighborhood on the south side of the Yuzhong Peninsula. This former slum area underwent a major renovation project from 2017 to 2021 and is now fully gentrified and commercialized. The Shibati Memories Museum (十八梯记忆馆) near the northern entrance explains the history of the area.

At 339 m tall, the Chongqing World Financial Centre is the city’s third-highest skyscraper, towering above the Jiefangbei skyline. Inside you’ll find the WFC Huixianlou Skyview, an observation deck that arguably delivers the most jaw-dropping panorama of Chongqing’s endless sea of high-rises, rivers, and bridges. Tickets can be bought online or at the lower ground floor, which is also where the high-speed elevators whisk you skyward. Unlike Guangzhou’s Canton Tower, the WFC’s skydeck is refreshingly uncrowded—leaving you plenty of space to soak in the view that many would say is even more spectacular.

This was the site of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea from 1944 to 1945. The site is now a museum. Information is provided in Chinese and Korean only.

Ba Manzi was an army general of the ancient Ba kingdom. He is best remembered for the manner of his death. History records that he hired some troops from the kingdom of Chu to put down a rebellion, promising to reward the Chu king with three Ba cities. However, when the Chu king came to collect his reward, Ba Manzi refused to cede the land and offered the king his severed head instead. A museum built around the tomb documents Ba Manzi’s life and times.

Features works by both local and international artists. Mainly focused on contemporary art.
