Tiananmen Square

Remember this picture? You can read about it here. Tiananmen Square is across the street from the Forbidden City.

On the south side of the square is the Mausoleum of Mao Zedong. He was the chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China from 1945 to his death in 1976. Facinating information about it here

Click here to see a picture of his body on display.

I had heard "Forbidden City", but I thought it was just something from the movies. That place is amazing. Man, I think this is one trip you're never going to forget.
