September has already ended in Beijing and October arrives. In China, there are seven days free for people working in the country and students at school. It is time to enjoy yourself wholeheartedly. If you are in Beijing, where are you going to visit during the seven days?
As far as I know many who have been to most scenic spots of Beijing now have already traveled to other areas of China to taste a different life experience. Those who have never been in Beijing now have already arrived here to taste the flavor of the capital city of China.
Although major scenic spots such as Tiananmen and the Forbidden City must be touristy places, you may take the subway to Tiananmen Square to see the vastness of the square as well as the stunning decoration of the site. The first day must be extremely crowded, and I suggest you travel to other not famous sites. Yet, if you have a strong will to see the wonderfulness of the huge flower basket set in the center of the square, you should go there. It is worth it!
I once visited the square on the second day of the seven-day holiday a few years ago and was impressed by the huge flower basket. Under the cloudless sky, the basket itself and the picture made by the basket and the Tiananmen Tower will be unbelievably attractive.
Simultaneously you can also view other decorations at the square, such as the huge monument, the National Flag of China and the large screen standing in front of the monument, and of course large numbers of visitors! This happens once a year and you will never see such beautiful decoration in other times of a year. In addition, you can also visit the Forbidden City after you have toured the square and seen the surrounding views. It is quite convenient.
