Other people's photos
Here are some photos I took of Chinese tourists posing for photos (not mine) in and near Tiananmen Square. Moods at the Communist monuments ranged from stoic to ecstatic.

Left: Statue of Communist heroes. Right: Portrait of Mao Zedong, hanging from Tiananmen Gate

Mao Mausoleum, inside of which Mao's embalmed remains are on display. Long lines form daily to get inside.

Another statue of communist heroes.
