Chongqing is a major city in Southwest China and one of the five national central cities in the People's Republic of China. Administratively, it is one of the PRC's four direct-controlled municipalities (the other three are Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin), and the only such municipality in inland China. Chongqing is the largest direct-controlled municipality, and comprises 19 districts, 15 counties, and 4 autonomous counties. Chongqing is one of the most notable cities for history and culture in China and serves as the economic centre of the upstream Yangtze area. It is the major manufacturing centre and a transportation hub for Southwest China.

27 meters tall Chongqing People's Liberation Monument was built in 1945 to commemorate the victory over the Japanese in World War II. It was renamed in 1950 to commemorate the Communist conquest of the area.
