Our next day morning of sight-seeing included a visit to Tiananmen Square and history lesson from our very informative tour guide David. We witnessed the vast multitude of Chinese ‘pilgrims’ that visit Chairman Mao’s mausoleum on a daily basis. This most significant site was both fascinating and daunting as we heard of the events that occurred in 1989. It also provided us with an opportunity to see the Parliament of the People of China and the impressive monument erected in remembrance of those that participated in the ‘cultural revolution’.
