Tiananmen Square flag-lowering ceremony viewing. You can join a group tour or choose a 1-8 person private small group tour. Transfers are not included; please gather near the square on your own. We assist with real-name reservations, and a tour guide will lead the way to select prime viewing locations and explain national flag etiquette. Watch the solemn flag-lowering ceremony at sunset, followed by enjoying the night view of Tiananmen Square. Pure sightseeing with no shopping.

  • Friendly Reminder: Around 6:00 PM on the day before your trip, we will send an email containing the tour guide's information. This email may occasionally be misclassified as spam. Information will also be updated synchronously on the Klook platform, so please check it. Thank you~
  • [Meeting Point]: Due to strict prohibitions against large gatherings at Tiananmen, our meeting point will be chosen at a relatively close location, though a short walk is still required;
  • [Time]: The reference meeting time is 4:00 PM. Since the flag-lowering time varies daily, the tour guide will notify you of the specific meeting time based on the flag-lowering schedule;
  • [Entry]: We use the group entrance, and you need to enter the square through the group channel together with the tour guide;
  • [Guided Explanation]: In order not to delay your view of the flag lowering, our guided explanation will begin after the ceremony and will last for 40 to 60 minutes;
  • [Location]: Our explanation will take place in front of the Monument to the People's Heroes. The tour guide will wait for everyone there to explain the square, its surrounding architecture, history, etc.

After the explanation, you are free to tour Tiananmen Square and take photos.

  • As the time of the flag-lowering ceremony changes daily, the specific meeting time is subject to the tour guide's arrangements.

At dusk, during the flag-lowering ceremony at Tiananmen Square, pink and purple afterglow fills the sky as the National Flag Guard executes the flag retrieval beneath the flagpole, with numerous tourists quietly witnessing the solemn moment in the square.
Tiananmen Square flag-lowering ceremony
A brilliant orange-red sunset glow blankets Tiananmen Square, the five-star red flag slowly descends, sentries stand solemnly, the setting sun melts like gold, and the atmosphere is fully maximized.
Under the blue sky and clear weather, the National Flag Guard stands neatly and solemnly performs the flag-lowering ceremony.
