- Standing at Tiananmen, Feeling the Pulse of the Era

Your must-visit Tiananmen Square guide is here! 🇨🇳 As the world's largest urban square, this is absolutely the first stop for any Beijing trip~ 🌟Ultra-practical travel tips: 1️⃣ Must wake up early for the flag-raising ceremony! Held at sunrise daily, arrive 1-2 hours early to secure good spots (Summer 4-5am, Winter 6-7am) 2️⃣ From the square you can see iconic buildings like the Great Hall of the People and National Museum - perfect photo ops with great commemorative value📸 3️⃣ Best photography times are early morning and evening - soft light and fewer crowds🌅🌃 4️⃣ Bag storage available on both sides, strict security checks - remember your ID 🍜 Nearby food recommendations: ✔️ Siji Minfu Roast Duck (Qianmen branch): 10-min walk, must-try Beijing duck🍗 ✔️ Huguosi Snacks (Qianmen branch): Authentic Beijing snacks (caution with douzhir😂) ✔️ Dawanzhu (Qianmen branch): Best Beijing zhajiang noodles🍝 🛏️ Accommodation suggestions: Stay near Qianmen area - walkable to Tiananmen and experience old Beijing hutong culture. Recommended: Beijing courtyard homestays for authentic local living~ ⚠️ Practical notes: - Remember to book visits in advance (especially holidays) - No sitting randomly on the square - use designated rest areas - Sun protection in summer, warm clothes in winter (windy open space) - Nearest subway: Line 1 Tiananmen East/West stations
