yeah that is called "The monument of Liberation" (locally Jiefangbei quite a landmark). during ww2 it was erected as "Spiritual Fort" in defiance of Japanese bombardment.

I bet CQ outshines some of your defined tier-1, in many respects, and even HK in landscape. Foreign Policy tags it as China's Chicago, an industrial hub upstream Yangtze.
