Out of curiosity, I bought a ticket and planned to climb up the Tiananmen Gate... and then I realized the rule is that nobody is allowed to take any bags to climb Tiananmen Gate... you have to go to a storage area to let people take care of your belongings...I had my passport and money with me that day, I did not feel comfortable to give up my hand-bag... so I decided not to climb up Tiananmen Gate.
