行万里路不如读万卷书4/5
ExcellentTiananmen Square is a sacred place admired by all and a national political landmark. People come to the square mainly to watch the flag raising, visit Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, climb the Tiananmen Tower, and visit the Palace Museum. You can also visit the National Museum and the Great Hall of the People on both sides of the square. Regardless of the season, there are always a lot of people here, so be prepared in advance. In addition, the Monument to the People's Heroes is not open, and the square is closed at night. To love the capital and the country, start by loving Tiananmen Square.

Tiananmen Square is located in the center of Beijing, with a length of 880 meters from north to south and a width of 500 meters from east to west, covering an area of 440,000 square meters.

From then on, a new chapter in Chinese history was opened. On the day of the founding ceremony, 300,000 military and civilian personnel gathered in Tiananmen Square. Since then, Tiananmen Square has become an important venue for the Party and the state to hold major celebrations, grand gatherings, and foreign affairs receptions.

You have to experience winter in Beijing at least once!As a southerner, I wanted to experience winter in Beijing. Due to time constraints, I could only arrange a 4-day, 3-night itinerary. I recorded the route and food of this trip with the Round Tour app. It's my life location collection machine 🎥 🔶𝗱𝗮𝘆𝟭: Daxing Airport➔Hotel➔Temple of Heaven 🔶𝗱𝗮𝘆𝟮: Summer Palace➔National Museum of China➔Qianmen Street 🔶𝗱𝗮𝘆𝟯: Great Wall➔Jingshan Park➔Nanluoguxiang 🔶𝗱𝗮𝘆𝟰: Tiananmen Square➔White Pagoda Temple➔Daxing Airport 🍲Food: ❶Nanmen Hot Pot ❷Dahuai Tree BBQ ❸Quanjude ❹Xiaodiao Pear Soup 🧋Milk tea and snacks: ❶Longyan Tea Shop ❷Shunshieryin ❸Mending Meat Pie ❹Any braised food from a random delivery service is delicious ❺Huguosi Snacks ❻Yinsan Douzhi 🔖Reservations: 🔺Forbidden City [7 days in advance, 8 pm] [Closed on Mondays] [Last entry at 3:30 pm] 🔺Jingshan Park [Same-day reservations available] [Last entry at 7:30 pm] 🔺Tiananmen Tower [1 day in advance] [Closed on Mondays] [Last entry at 4 pm] 🔺Tiananmen Square [Same-day reservations available] (Don't forget to download the certificate from the mini program after visiting) 🔺National Museum of China [7 days in advance] [Last entry at 4 pm] 🔺Great Wall [Same-day reservations available] 🔺Summer Palace [1 day in advance] [Some courtyards are closed on Mondays] 🧶Clothing: Before going, I was shivering at the thought of the temperature in Beijing being below -10°C. When I arrived, I found that the dry cold in the north is really different from the wet cold in the south. As long as there is no wind, it is not as cold as 0°C in the south. It may also be that southerners are more resistant to the cold. I didn't use any of the warm baby, hand warmer, or heated insoles I prepared. I could even wear small leather shoes and wander around Beijing. 🧥Upper body: Thermal underwear➕Thin sweater➕Coat/Down jacket (If you go to the Great Wall, you must wear a down jacket and a hat and scarf) 👖Lower body: Thermal pants➕Jeans 🧣Other equipment: Scarf➕Hat➕Gloves. As long as you don't expose your skin, you will be much warmer. The trip to Beijing was really great. I'll go again in autumn! I hope everyone has a happy trip~🌈dante_matthias79

Tiananmen Square is a sacred place admired by all and a national political landmark. People come to the square mainly to watch the flag raising, visit Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, climb the Tiananmen Tower, and visit the Palace Museum. You can also visit the National Museum and the Great Hall of the People on both sides of the square. Regardless of the season, there are always a lot of people here, so be prepared in advance. In addition, the Monument to the People's Heroes is not open, and the square is closed at night. To love the capital and the country, start by loving Tiananmen Square.
An iconic location that was not to be missed as part of our group tour. It was very busy with a number of different queue systems, all of which our guide expertly navigated
The place is massive way bigger than I imagined and surrounded by all these important landmarks like the Forbidden City and the Great Hall of the People. The giant portrait of Chairman Mao really stands out, and it’s impossible not to feel the history here. There were tons of people, some taking photos, others just strolling around. I stayed long enough to catch the flag-raising, and it was so precise and serious it gave me chills.
Tiananmen Square is still worth a visit. It has appeared in the textbook since childhood, and also learned to sing the songs written to it. You don't have to make an appointment with Tiananmen Square alone when you have a national Expo. The price of umbrellas and raincoats for convenient cars is relatively close to the people.
May the motherland prosper and prosper, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, it really shock the motherland long live
Amazing architecture is a historical place mixed with Soviet architecture. many people around visiting, very safe and clean and the people are nice.
Remember to book your visit to Tiananmen Square via their site, they have the details online. Was a nice experience being out there, and they’re super friendly too. Managed to get some decent pics.
one of the main landmarks in beijing with an impressive large square with famous monuments from old to the new china. the security is very tight and there were many security checkpoints around the square. it is definitely must check it out when visiting beijing.
