The monument provides a marvelous view of the river and the New Town. It’s located at the end of the Bund river walk. The carvings below trace local history and extoll the struggles and rise of the Communist Party.

It is a pleasant stroll to walk around this monument. Walk around the top, which has great views of Lujiazui, as well as down the ramp. Take care to have a good look at all the murals - there are plenty of stories there. It is currently lit up on red.
