Tiananmen Square is the third largest city square in the world. It measures 960 yards by 550 yards and
contains 109 acres of area. It was that site of the infamous student protests of 1989. Click on the provided link to
read more about these protests.
We saw a part of the old Beijing City Wall on the way to Tiananmen Square.
Our bus parked across the street so this was our first
view of the square
There was a visible police presence around the square. I
don't think this one was too happy about
having his photo taken but he did not
say anything.
There were CCTV cameras everywhere. The other light poles
in the background has similar cameras
mounted on them.
Monument to the Peoples Heroes Hall.
From here we walked back across the street to the Forbidden City
