Tianamen Square 
Beijing  

 

On historic Tianamen Square. 
Forbidden City in the background

Atop the Great Hall of People adjoining
 the Square flies the Red Flag.

The Government seal on the Hall of the People

 

Looking away from the Forbidden City side 
of the Square

A small part of the Hall of the People

Lots of light at night

On the other side of the Square loom the
Golden Arches.  I still can't figure out how this
works in the People's Republic

Larry Greider on the huge square.  Dimensions
are 500 by 900 meters.

Mao Tse Tung's tomb in the middle of
Tianeman Square

Huge History Museum off the Square

The Hua Bei Hotel where we stayed in Beijing

Lots and lots of bicycle traffic
