Tiananmen Square

Watch the flag-raising ceremony 

Tiananmen Square, located in the center of Beijing, covers an area of 440,000 square meters and can accommodate 1 million people for grand gatherings, making it the largest city square in the world. The floor of the square is paved with light granite, and in the center stands the Monument to the People's Heroes and the solemn Chairman Mao Memorial Hall. In 1986, Tiananmen Square was named one of the "Sixteen Scenic Spots of Beijing", and the landscape name was "Tian'an Liri".

Tiananmen Square records the indomitable revolutionary spirit and fearless heroism of the Chinese people, and is a historical witness of China's decline to rise. Going to Tiananmen Square to see the flag-raising is not only a blessing for the motherland, but also represents a sense of ceremony belonging to the Chinese.
