The largest plaza in the world is situated in the heart of Beijing. To the north lies the Gate of Heavenly Peace and the Forbidden City, and in the south of the square, the haunting mausoleum of Mao Zedong, where the late chairman's preserved body lies. You can visit this macabre attraction free of charge (no photos, no bags). Tiananmen Square is, of course, the spot where the government of Deng Xiaoping confronted hundreds of students and pro-democracy activists in the summer of 1989.
