About this place

The spiritual and commercial center of Chongqing, where a WWII victory monument stands at the busiest intersection in Yuzhong, surrounded on all sides by malls and crowds — a place that has witnessed the city's transformation from wartime capital to modern metropolis.

Drifter says

"Not coming here is not coming to Chongqing — that's not an exaggeration. This is the city's Times Square, best experienced by slowing down and watching the human current around the monument. High-end brands are all represented. But for food, walk behind the monument and find the back alleys — the price and flavor difference is another world entirely."
