Tiananmen Square in China

These are a few photographs of Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China. This square is the largest city square in the world, but more important it has a historical significance. Many important events have taken place here as it has been used as a meeting place ever since it was made. At one end of it lies the Forbidden City, the palace of the Emperors of China.

The photo below is of a few policemen who appear to be taking photographs of themselves at Tiananmen Square. As this square is usually swarming with police one is not sure whether they were on duty or not.

This last photograph is of Tiananmen Square at night. In the daytime the square is packed with tourists and it's difficult to get a clear photo.
