Tiananmen Beijing
In ancient China Tiananmen Square was the imperial courtyard, and when the dynasties collapsed, there were many things of historic importance that took place on the square.

It is still a significant place in Modern China and worth a visit in your China tour, spend a poignent moment in the square and think of its recent history.

Tiananmen Square is the largest square in the world, which is about 40 hectares (99 acres) in all!

After the founding of the Chinese government, the monument to the people's hero was built in the central line of old Beijing city, in the same line as the Forbidden City. The national flag was put in the same central line, as well as Chairman Mao's mausoleum (built behind the monument along the central line as well).

On the square, you can take a walk and have a look at our Great People's Hall on the west side and the history museum to the east side. Look at the people try to fly kites to entertain themselves. You will get a real feel for the life of Beijing.
