Tienanmen is a lively place during a summer day. But it looks completely different on a wintery evening.
Inevitably, Tien An Men square recalls images of a failed Chinese revolution that took place just before the people of Eastern Europe successfully rose to gain liberty and democracy. But Tien An Men square is more than that. It was used as a place for gatherings in imperial times, and much later, Mao turned the enormous space into a perfect display of popular support using rallies. Parades of a million people passed through this square during his Cultural Revolution. After the 1989 Revolution, the square has not seen huge crowds anymore. Even so, it is so vast that crowds that would fill any other square in another city, would not even considered to be a crowd on Tien An Men.
