When I opened the pizza restaurant menu, I realized that they make pizza catering Chinese people’s preference. Here is a pizza with squid and tuna topping.
This is the Mausoleum of Mao Zedong on Tiananmen Square. Inside holds the Mao’s crystal coffin with the embalmed body. I noticed the surveillance camera on the light-pole on the right and long lines of tourists dying to visit Mao’s coffin on the left.
A giant panda dosed off under sweltering heat in Beijing zoo! Giant panda is a national emblem of China and also the poster child for endangered species. There are only 3000 pandas left. According to Wikipedia that scientists have tried extreme methods to make pandas reproduce such as showing pandas mating videos and giving them Viagra. Those videos are available on you-tube.
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.
The lines to visit Mao’s mausoleum were super long…….I really don’t have the time and patience, so I passed up the opportunity of going inside the mausoleum.
Wall to Wall’s people in front of Tiananmen Gate. If you buy a ticket, you can climb up Tiananmen Gate and stand where Mao Zedong once stood. It is the area above Mao’s portrait. You climb up from a back stairway.
I looked up, I saw the light-pole in front of Tiananmen Gate with 5 surveillance cameras. It was kind of spooky! It brought back the memory of 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. I recall a tank man stopped more than 10 tanks on Chang’an Avenue here and shocked the world. This tank man is probably not alive ‘cause Chinese government can’t locate this brave young man!
The Tiananmen Square souvenir shop sells Mao Zedong’s items, but I did not see any enthusiastic buyers, only window shoppers.
Chang’an Avenue is the street between Tiananmen Square and Tiananmen Gate, it has 6 lanes in each direction.
Tourists coming out of the Forbidden City. The crowd is always there and moving all day long. The guy with sunglasses is a plainclothes security guard standing next to a fire extinguisher.
Tiananmen Gate is a national symbol of China. Tiananmen means the Gate of Heavenly Peace. It is the front entrance to Forbidden City. Before you are allowed to enter the Tiananmen Square, your bag has to be x-rayed.
