Tiananmen Square is a must-see if you find yourself in Beijing.
It’s a very interesting place to visit especially in light of everything that has happened there over the years.
It’s worth setting aside a few hours for exploring Tiananmen Square and the surrounding attractions.

Me and Chairman Mao.
Military personal patrol the square so be on your best behaviour and don’t get too offended if you get stared at when taking pictures, especially if you are a Westerner.
Trying to perfect the ‘Tory Power Stance’ in Tiananmen Square (you may not get that 🙂
It’s a great place to sit and people watch.
I don’t think we saw any blue sky the whole time we were in Beijing.
