Beijing is a tourist destination that I have always longed for. It is the political, economic and cultural center of my country, and I have long wanted to see its style. This year's golden autumn season, I finally arrived at Beijing, the heart of my motherland, and witnessed its style. As a Chinese, everyone should go to Beijing for a walk and have a look.

Zhengyang Gate, commonly known as Qianmen, Qianmenlouzi, and Daqianmen, was originally named Lizheng Gate. It was the main south gate of Beijing's inner city during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is located at the southernmost tip of Tiananmen Square on the north-south central axis of Beijing and south of Chairman Mao Memorial Hall. Founded in the 17th year of Yongle (1419) of Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, it is one of the "Nine Gates of the Capital" in old Beijing.



Chairman Mao Memorial Hall is the highest memorial hall in China. It is a memorial hall for the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries headed by Comrade Mao Zedong. It is a national patriotic education base. It is located at the southern end of Tiananmen Square, on the central axis of Beijing, with a total construction area of 28000 square meters. Here, the body of Chairman Mao Zedong is placed, and memorials of the revolutionary achievements of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Deng Xiaoping and Chen Yun are held.

I came to Tiananmen Square with a very solemn and excited mood. Tiananmen Square is majestic and magnificent. It is a place that people across the country admire and yearn for. For me personally, there is a deep admiration complex in my heart. I remember when I was a child, the scene of Tiananmen Square in movies once made our generation's blood boil. The majestic appearance of Tiananmen Square makes me think and excited.

Tiananmen Square records the indomitable revolutionary spirit and fearless heroism of the Chinese people. The May 4th Movement, the 1st and 29th Movement, and the May 20th Movement all left a strong color on the history of China's modern revolution here. At the same time, it is also the place where countless major political and historical events took place and is a historical witness of China's decline to rise.

Tiananmen Square. The venue is large and spectacular. Tiananmen Square is located in the center of Beijing City. It is located on East Chang 'an Street, Dongcheng Area, Beijing City. It starts from Tiananmen Square in the north, reaches Zhengyang Gate in the south, starts from the National Museum of China in the east, and ends at the Great Hall of the People in the west. It is 880 meters long from north to south, 500 meters wide from east to west, and has an area of 440,000 square meters. It can accommodate 1 million people to hold grand gatherings. It is the largest urban square in the world.

The Monument to the People's Heroes is located in the center of Tiananmen Square in Beijing, on the north-south central axis about 463 meters south of Tiananmen Square and 440 meters north of Zhengyang Gate. It was built by the government of the People's Republic of China to commemorate the people's heroes who have sacrificed their lives in all struggles since 1840 to oppose internal and external enemies, strive for national independence and people's freedom and happiness.

The Great Hall of the People is the meeting place of the National People's Congress of China and the office space of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. It is an important place for the party, the state and various people's organizations to hold political activities. It is also a place for Chinese party and state leaders and the people to hold political, diplomatic and cultural activities.

In the center of the square is located the Monument to the People's Heroes. The eight characters "Eternal Life of the People's Heroes" reflect thousands of golden lights under the sunshine.

The National Museum of China, referred to as the National Expo, is affiliated to the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China. It is located on the east side of Tiananmen Square in the center of Beijing City and on the south side of East Chang 'an Street. It is symmetrical to the Great Hall of the People from east to west. The National Museum of China, formerly known as the Museum of Chinese History and the Museum of Chinese Revolution, is a well-known museum that systematically collects ancient, modern, contemporary history and precious cultural relics of China.


Tiananmen Square National Day flower beds. Since 1986, Tiananmen Square has designed and arranged a large flower bed with the central theme of the square around the new characteristics of the country's economic and social development every year for people to watch. In 1986, the landscape was named "Tian 'an Beautiful Day" and was rated as one of the "Sixteen Scenes in Beijing." The three-dimensional flower beds with clear themes placed in Tiananmen Square in Beijing attracted many citizens and tourists to take photos. The picture shows the flower bed of "Blessing the Motherland".

Xi Jinping once said: China's yesterday has been written in the annals of mankind, China's today is being created in the hands of hundreds of millions of people, and China's tomorrow will be even better. The whole Party, the entire army, and the people of all ethnic groups in the country must unite more closely, not forget their original aspirations, keep in mind their mission, continue to consolidate and develop our People's Republic well, and continue to achieve the "Two Centenary Goals" goal and realize the Chinese nation. Work hard for the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation!

The majestic Tiananmen Square, the simple beautiful tables, and the majestic stone lions are full of profound Chinese traditional cultural connotations and exude the spirit of Chinese traditional culture.

Huabiao is an important symbol of Tiananmen Square. It is integrated with the majestic Tiananmen Gate Tower, the elegant Jinshui Bridge, and the majestic stone lion. It has become a unique and beautiful landscape in front of Tiananmen Square. The squatting beast on top of the Huabiao in front of Tiananmen Square is called "Hou." Looking outside the palace, people call it "Looking at the sky Hou" and "Looking at the monarch's return." There are two similar Chinese watches behind the Tiananmen Gate Tower, and a stone Hou is also squatting on top. The stone Hou on the Huamiao faces north and in the direction of the palace. People call it "Wang Jun out." "Hope for the King" advised the emperor not to stay in the palace all the time, but to go to the people to see the sufferings of the people.

Tiananmen Square was the main entrance of Beijing's Imperial City in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was built in the 15th year of Yongle of the Ming Dynasty (1417). It was originally named "Chengtian Gate", which means "heaven starts the destiny and is ordered by heaven." The designer was Kuai Xiang, a royal architect of the Ming Dynasty. In the eighth year of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty (1651), it was renamed Tiananmen Square. It consists of two parts: a city platform and a tower. It has a white marble Sumizuo with a total height of 34.7 meters. Tiananmen Gate Tower is 66 meters long and 37 meters wide. There are five watchtowers under the city floor. The ticket gate in the middle is the largest and is located on the central axis of Beijing's Imperial City. In the past, only the emperor could enter and exit from this. A portrait of Mao Zedong hangs above the center entrance, with large slogans reading "Long Live the People's Republic of China" and "Long Live the Great Unity of the People of the World" on both sides.


The majestic Tiananmen Square, the simple beautiful tables, and the majestic stone lions are full of profound Chinese traditional cultural connotations and exude the spirit of Chinese traditional culture.

A pair of huge stone lions were placed in the north and south of the Jinshui Bridge in front of Tiananmen Square. These four white jade lions are exquisitely carved. According to the book "Chinese Lion Art":"These two pairs of stone lions were carved in the 15th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1417). They are 2.5 meters high, plus the total height of the base is nearly 3 meters, and there are 13 bumps on the top of their heads. According to the regulations at that time, they are the highest level of stone lions. "These two pairs of stone lions are carved in coordinated proportions, with big eyes, tilted their heads slightly, and half-grinning lips. Their manes are neatly wound into a vortex shape. There is a small" round coin "pattern on the front legs. They are dressed in a tassel coil of brocade belt, and there are ring bells and tassel pendant on the chest ribbon. The material used for stone lions is a kind of stone with uniform light gray green spots in gray and white, which has strong resistance to natural weathering. The stone lion is carved and chiseled from a whole piece of raw stone. The shape, size and carving work are the same. It reflects the carving process of the Ming Dynasty and is a representative of the stone lion in the north.

Moving forward, you will find the Forbidden City, which is also crowded with people.


I love the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland, and I love Tiananmen Square even more! I am proud that I am Chinese!
