Title – Tiananmen Square
Date – July 2006
Location - Beijing - China
History has made Tiananmen Square a name known round the world for all the wrong reasons. It conjures up pictures of the most dramatic and distressing scenes, as the Chinese Government violently put down the popular pro-democracy demonstrations in 1989. Knowing the history of a country you are visiting can give you an insight that you might otherwise miss, the simple magnitude of this square is haunting and puts into perspective the terrible events of that week in June.
At Beyond The Blue we try not only to warn you of the pitfalls of travelling, but to get you really excited and itching to leave. Our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshops don’t just concentrate on the bad things that can happen and the parts of the world that suffer from internal conflict, we also give advice on the best things to de and the most exciting places to visit. We want you to leave with a level of enthusiasm that will see your plan turned into reality.
