Tiananmen Square
— World's Largest City Square
Tiananmen Square is located in the heart of Beijing. Covering 98 acres, it is the largest public square in the world — big enough to hold up to one million people. Needless to say, it's a great place for people-watching.

Gate of Heavenly Peace —
also referred to as Tian'anmen Gate, is located on the north side of the square. It was here on October 1, 1949 that Chairman Mao proclaimed the founding of the new China. You can't miss his gigantic portrait on top of the gate — underneath it is the entrance to the Forbidden City.

Museum of Chinese History and the Museum of the Revolution — both buildings are located on the east side of Tian'anmen Square.

Great Hall of the People
China's National Hall of Congress is housed here, on the west side of the square.

The Monument of the People's Heroes commemorates many of the uprisings that took place in China's history. It dominates the center of Tian'anmen Square.

Chairman Mao's Mausoleum
Located at the south end of the square, Chairman Mao Memorial Hall is where the body of Chairman Mao Tse Tung lies in state.
