Introduction

Tiananmen Square is the heart of Beijing and the world's largest city-center square. Covering 44 hectares, it measures 300 m east to west and 820 m north to south, paved entirely with specially treated light-colored granite slabs. The daily flag-raising ceremony at dawn and flag-lowering ceremony at sunset are the most solemn rituals, drawing crowds who gather to watch the national flag rise against the morning glow. The square is flanked by the Monument to the People's Heroes, the Great Hall of the People, and the National Museum of China.
