Plan your Beijing tour? Pick a fine day and check the sunset time on a particular day to appreciate a spectacular sunset view from Tiananmen Square and see the red-flag lowering ceremony as well if you are interested in feeling the local patriotism of the crowds gathering for the ceremony.
Flag-Raising Time and Flag-Lowering Time are both set according to Beijing’s sunrise time and sunset time.
The setting sun hangs over between the Zhongyangmen Gate and Mao’s Mausoleum in the south of Tiananmen Square, the largest public square of such kind in the world.
The falling sun is set on the People’s Great Hall, the Chinese parliament building accompanied by the Monument to the People’s Heroes.
People are gathering and waiting for the red-flag lowering ceremony. The setting sun is moving further west with great glow.
The falling sun gives out beautiful sunlights. The setting sun is gone and melted in the dusk
