Tian An Men Gate
The picture you see above is called Tian An Men Gate, one of the famous places of interest in Beijing. I believe most people know that this place was once happened to be 'square massacre' in 1989 and currently has become China icon for modernity. The picture of the former chairman of China named Mao Ze Dong are grandly displayed in front of the gate. He was the one who ascended Tian An Men Gate to proclaim the founding of People's Republic of China on 1st October 1949.
