In the Jiangfangbei district around the Liberation Monument, there are many department stores whose competition among each other ensures low prices. The Chongqing Art Store on Minsheng Street and the prestigious Huipu store on Renmin Street specialize in art objects. The Xinhua Bookstore on Minzu Street across from the post office is one of the best in Chongqing, offering a wide selection of classic titles from the 19th century as well as art books.
