The Tian an men Square is the biggest square in the world. A lot of important and terrible events have taken place here. For example the celebration ceremony of a 50 year old republic of China in 1999 where many world leaders were invited. Another less fortunate event in 1989 was the "student protest" where the chinese army killed over 5000 students and other civilians because they refused to leave the square. I cannot really post any more information about that event because all the websites about that incident are banned in China...
The square is full of police and gueards all day...A few years ago some religious cult members called the "falun gong" burned themself on the square because they oppose the communist party in China. After these crazy jesus freaks deed it has been forbidden to take any liquids to the square and all bags are examined, dont bring any waterbottles with you :) And dont ever mention the religious cult because you will be shot...
