Tiananmen Square

A vast plaza in China's capital, known for Mao's mausoleum and the 1989 pro-democracy protests.

Tips from the community

The massive 109-acre Tian’anmen Square comes alive each morning beginning with a short, highly choreographed ceremonial flag raising at dawn. As the national anthem plays, a People’s Liberation Army honor guard raises the national flag over the public square, heralding a new day.
