Tiananmen Gate with temporary reviewing stands in preparation of China's National Day (October 1st), located at the north side Tiananmen Square, Beijing, China. This is the principle gate to the Forbidden City.
Oblique view seen before entering the Imperial Palace Grounds via an adjacent tourist entrance gate.
Since the 1949 revolution Tiananmen Gate has had a picture of Mao Zedong and two placards. The left one reads 中华人民共和国万岁 (zhōng huá rén mín gòng hé guó wàn suì; "Long Live the People's Republic of China"), while the right placard reads 全世界人民大团结万岁 (quán shì jiè rén mín dà tuán jié wàn suì; "Long live the Great Unity of the World's Peoples").
