A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Tiananmen Square in Beijing is unarguably the stone heart of China. Although technically there are three other public squares in China that are larger, Tiananmen is a seemingly endless plain of concrete and monolithic structures meant to showcase the grand scale of the communist party.
Tiananmen Square, located in Beijing, is renowned as the world’s largest public square, with the impressive capacity to hold one million people. Traditionally, this site was primarily known in the West for the tragic events surrounding the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989, where an unknown number of protesters lost their lives during an uprising.
