9. Tiananmen Square, Beijing
Tiananmen Square in Beijing is one of the largest public squares in the world – there is space for 600,000 people. In the west, it is possibly most known as the site of the 1989 protests. These resulted in hundreds of deaths, and an infamous standoff between a man and a tank. Originally built in 1651, on its northern edge is Tiananmen Gate or the Gate of Heavenly Peace into the Forbidden City.
