Tiananmen Square is the large plaza near the centre of Beijing named after the Tiananmen (literally translated as the ¡°Gate of Heavenly Peace¡±). It sits to the city's north, separating it from the Forbidden City. As a symbol it has great cultural significance, as it was the site of several key events in Chinese history.

The complex was visited by the Emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties for annual ceremonies of prayer to Heaven for good harvest.
