Tiananmen Square

Thanks to the Holiday Inn we had a little 'Take me here card' with the Chinese translations of some of the sights. Tiananmen was one of the first I wanted to see because of the tragedy in the 90s. We arrived at this huge space (the largest of it's kind in the world so I'm told). It had a huge memorial to the people of China on the square its self and was framed almost, by two large buildings. They were both similar styles only male and female versions (yin and yang). There were plenty of troops walking around on parade which was also pretty novelty.
