Livin' In The Chonx

Jiefangbei 解放碑

This upscale shopping district spreads out from Liberation Tower. According to some signs in the area the shopping plaza is called “Times Square” (时代广场), but few locals refer to it as such. It caters to the fabulously wealthy and those who want to appear fabulously wealthy by shopping at places like Armani and Burberry. Here you can buy genuine brand name imports, as long as you’re willing to pay genuine import prices. There is a brand new underground shopping area here connected to the Light Rail stations, and even here the prices are high (but you can bargain). Most of the clothing chains and department stores that have branches in Three Gorges Plaza also have branches here, but sometimes the product line is slightly different. Below are a couple of the department stores that you can only find in Times Square, their selection is very upscale so the prices are typically higher than at any of the other department stores in Chongqing.

• Metropolitan: Da Du Hui 大都会
• Maison Mode Times: Mei Mei 美美

Bus Tip: 临江门 or 较场口 or 解放碑
