Tiananmen Square
Best time to visit
Early morning for the flag-raising ceremony and cooler air, weekdays are much less crowded than weekends.
Budget tips
Access to the square is free, but the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall and nearby museums require tickets and often ID checks; book free timed tickets online for Mao's hall to avoid queues. Avoid paid 'skip-the-line' tours that charge for access to areas you can visit for free.
Recommended for
History buffs, Photography enthusiasts, First-time visitors to Beijing, Students of politics and culture

About
Rychlá fakta: 眼前的空阔地带约44万平方米，能同时容纳数十万人的集会规模让人直观感受到城市的脉动。看见悬挂的巨幅画像与庄严的国旗时，游客的低语与整齐的脚步声会把那一刻放大成难忘的记忆。
Hlavní zajímavosti: 观礼的人群在旗杆前排列成数行，常有数千人驻足观看，近距离的脚步声和旗绳的摩擦声会把清晨的空气切成节拍，让人瞬间安静下来。巨幅画像下偶尔能看到人们留下的小纸条或鲜花，细看会发现来自不同年代的手写留言，微风中纸张翻动的沙沙声像一段无声的历史对话。
Insider tips
- Arrive before sunrise for the flag ceremony, especially on weekdays, and expect strict security checks so carry your passport.
- Stand on the north side near the Monument to the People's Heroes or on the Gate of Heavenly Peace for classic south-facing photos.
- Wear layers and comfortable shoes, the open plaza can be windy and you will do a lot of walking.
- Skip souvenir stalls around the square; buy guidebooks or souvenirs from nearby museum shops to save money.
