Monument to the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet, Monument at Potala Square in Lhasa, China.

The 37-meter concrete spire structure stands in the southern section of Potala Square, featuring inscriptions in Chinese and Tibetan characters.

The monument, unveiled in May 2002, marks the integration of Tibet into the People's Republic of China following the 1951 agreement.

The monument incorporates design elements representing Mount Everest, with calligraphy by former Chinese president Jiang Zemin displayed on its surface.

Visitors can access the monument throughout the year without entrance fees, with optimal viewing conditions during spring and autumn months.

Two People's Liberation Army soldiers maintain a constant presence beside the memorial, which illuminates the square during evening hours.
