About Tiananmen Square

Tiananmen Square is Beijing central ceremonial square, framed by Tiananmen Gate, the Great Hall of the People, the National Museum of China, and the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall. It is also part of the Beijing Central Axis World Heritage context, so visits are best planned with timed reservations and nearby palace-area security checks.

💡Why Visit?

Go for the classic Beijing civic-history moment: sunrise flag raising, monumental architecture, and easy links to the Forbidden City and Qianmen.
