Tiananmen Square

 Tiananmen Square is massive and crowded.

This colorful basket of fake flowers is not a permanent installation.  It was a holiday week.  Beijing had floral displays all over the city, including in Tiananmen Square.



Tiananmen Gate is at the northern end of the square.  It separates the Forbidden City from Tiananmen Square.

Tiananmen Square is still the heart of China and the contemporary government is just to the left of the Forbidden City, and the Great Hall of the People, where state dinners happen, is on the Square.

Something that gets my attention is that with all those people in all that space, I don’t see phones held up taking pictures.
