Every year on October 1, China celebrates its National Holiday. This year marked the 61 st anniversary of the founding of the People 's Republic of China by Mao Ze Dong and the communism Party in 1949.
I decided to join the throngs of Chinese tourists commemorating the holiday in and around Tiananmen Square by waving flags and taking photos. Then, I headed to Zheng Yang Men (the Front Gate) to learn a little history and see the vast differences between old and new Beijing.
