Tiananmen Square is a landmark building located at the northern end of Tiananmen Square, the largest city square in the world and located in the center of Beijing, China. It was first built in the 15th year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty (1417) and was the main entrance of the imperial cities of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Originally called "Chengtian Gate", it was rebuilt in the 8th year of the Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1651) and renamed "Tiananmen Square", meaning "entrusted to heaven, to govern the country in peace".
Nowadays, it is not only the geographical center of Beijing, but also a national symbol and political landmark of the People's Republic of China. Its image is designed in the center of the national emblem, with extraordinary significance.
The rostrum is a palace style building with double eaves on the top of the mountain. It is 34.7 meters high. On the base of White Marble, the tower has five arched gateways. Above it is a magnificent hall with red walls and yellow tiles, and carved beams and painted rafters.
