Have you ever walked for hours with tens of thousands of your closest friends?

Fascinating and CROWDED experience in progress. We happen to visit the
Forbidden City on a national holiday. Suddenly while in front of Mao's
picture the miltary started escorting everyone away from the area. We
are still walking with everyone an hour later.

They have closed all of Tian'an Men Square, rumor is for security or
fear of protests.
