Tiananmen Square, Beijing
Pada hari ke tiga selepas sarapan pagi kami di bawa untuk melawat Tianmen Square yang terletak lebih kurang 16 km dan 30 minit perjalanan.

Tianmen Square

Tiananmen Square is a large city square in the center of Beijing, China, named after the Tiananmen Gate (Gate of Heavenly Peace) located to its North, separating it from the Forbidden City. Tiananmen Square is the third largest city square in the world (440,000 m² - 880m by 500m or 109 acres - 960 by 550 yd). It has great cultural significance as it was the site of several important events in Chinese history.
Outside China, the square is best known in recent memory as the focal point of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, a pro-democracy movement which ended on 4 June 1989 with the declaration of martial law in Beijing by the government and the death of several hundred civilians.

The Tiananmen Gate to the Forbidden City was built in 1415 during the Ming Dynasty. Towards the demise of the Ming Dynasty, heavy fighting between Li Zicheng and the early Qing emperors damaged (or perhaps destroyed) the gate. The Tiananmen square was designed and built in 1651, and has since enlarged four times its original size in the 1950s.  ^{(sumber from Wikipedia.org)}

So pastikan follow tourist guide yang betul yer :-). Kualiti gambar kurang memuaskan kerana menggunakan kamera compact biasa jer..belum mampu nak beli DSLR.
