Liberation Pavilion

The Liberation Pavilion (Chinese: 解放阁; pinyin: Jiefàng Gé) is a monument commemorating the storming of the city of Jinan, Shandong by the People's Liberation Army during the Battle of Jinan in the Chinese Civil War.

Set on broad stone pedestal, the pavilion proper has two stories and is capped by an eaved roof.

However, the sides of the pedestal are decorated with bas-relief stone carvings that depict scenes from the civil-war battle for Jinan in the style of Socialist realism.

The characters of these inscriptions were taken from the handwriting of Marshal Chen Yi,[1] who commanded the Shandong counter-offensive during the Chinese Civil War.

The interior of the pavilion houses an exhibition related to the civil war battle for Jinan.
