天安门广场的英文介绍




Tian'anmen Square is one of the largest city squares in the world. It is
situated in the heart of Beijing. Tian'anmen was built in 1417 and was the
entrance
gate
to
the
Forbidden
City.
Now
the
square
stretches
880
meters
from
north to south and 500 meters from east to west. The total area is 440,000
square meters. That's about the size of 60 soccer fields, spacious enough to
accommodate half a million people.



Covering
over
forty
hectares,
Tian'anmen
Square
must
rank
as
the
greatest
public square on earth. It's a modern creation, in a city that traditionally
had no squares, as classical Chinese town planning did not allow for places
where crowds could gather. Tian'anmen only came into being when imperial
offices were cleared from either side of the great processional way that led
south
from
the
palace
to
Qianmen
and
the
Temple
of
Heaven.
The
ancient
north
–
south axis of the city was thus destroyed and the broad east
–
west
thoroughfare, Chang'an Jie, that now carries millions of cyclists every day
past the front of the Forbidden City, had the walls across its path removed.
In
the
words
of
one
of
the
architects:

very
map
of
Beijing
was
a
reflection
of the feudal society, it was meant to demonstrate the power of the emperor.
We had to transform it, we had to make Beijing into the capital of socialist
China.
a bus terminus and a subway stop. As the square is lined with railings (for
crowd control) you can enter or leave only via the exits at either end or in
the middle.



Bicycles are not permitted, and the streets either side are one way; the
street
on
the
east
side
is
for
traffic
going
south,
the
west
side
for
northbound
traffic.
