Sunday stroll in Tianamen Square



At the heart of Beijing is Tianamen Square, the world's largest public square. It can hold up to 1 million people - which is staggering when you consider that the number is 40% of Toronto's population. The Monument of the People's Heroes stands at the middle of the square.

On the morning of our fourth and final day in Beijing, we were blessed with another gorgeous sunny day. We excitedly made our way to Tianamen Square and were saddened to discover that - contrary to our research - flying kites is forbidden at the square.

So we're gonna try to fly our Chinese kites somewhere else in Beijing - and if not here, then in Hong Kong or the Philippines.
