Tianimen Square

     The square is impressive, 960x550 yards in size, but most remembered outside of China  for the pro-democracy student uprising in 1998 which resulted in martial law and an estimated several hundred to 3,000 students killed. Our guide says there is still no mention of this in the history books of modern China... like it never happened.
