Jibenggang, China
Monument to the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet
The Monument to the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet stands in the southern part of the Potala Palace Square in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region just outside the protective zone and buffer zone of the World Heritage Site. It celebrates what the People's Republic of China calls the "Peaceful Liberation of Tibet" by the People's Liberation Army, or what the exiled Tibetan government calls the invasion and annexation of Tibet. The foundation stone was laid on July 18, 2001 by Hu Jintao, China's vice-president at the time.
