Tienanmen is a lively place during a summer day. But it looks completely different on a wintery evening.
This largest square in the world has several sights on its sides. At the northern side lies the Forbidden City, several gates, museums, and, obviously, the mausoleum of the Great Leader himself, Mao. The latter building cannot be missed as it lies at the heart of the square. After a visit to the Dashilan area, darkness had fallen over Beijing's skies and I entered Tien An Men square from the south. I was immediately struck by the bright illumination of all the main buildings and decided for a walk on this enormous square. It was so different from my summertime visits, when families sit on the square, mothers playing with their children, fathers flying kites for their sons, people enjoying the sun and the car-free area of the inner square. But now, the square was almost deserted and, indeed, was like a tiny desert inside the city.
