Tiananmen Square by Sharrie
OK, now heads toward the world famous TIANANMEN SQUARE (TIAN AN MEN GUANG CHANG). If you are a regular on CNN (especially in 1989), you'd know what Tiananmen Square is all about. Situated between the Temple of Heaven and the Forbidden City, Tiananmen is Chairman Mao's creation. The Tiananmen (meaning Heavenly Peace Gate) was built in 15th century, has 5 doors to the gate and only the emperor could use the central door and bridge. From here, Mao proclaimed the People's Republic of China on 1 October 1949. Yep, that's the portrait of Mao.
