What does Tiananmen Square look like?

The appearance of Tiananmen Square is described as follows:

On both sides of the square, 56 tall and towering national columns stand proudly, representing the harmony and unity of 56 ethnic groups, and representing the unity of 56 ethnic groups to support a prosperous China.

Architectural features of Tiananmen Square;

The main hall of Tiananmen Gate House is a double-eaved, mountain-leaning roof, with a main ridge. At both ends of the main ridge, there are a pair of gorgeous dragon-shaped glass ornaments, which are called dragon kisses (also called big kisses or main kisses), and there are eight vertical ridges. There is a dragon kiss at the top of each vertical ridge, so it is said that "nine ridges seal ten dragons".

There are ten lifelike immortal beasts on each of the eight vertical ridges. The first one is "immortal riding a chicken", followed by nine different kinds of beasts, such as dragon, phoenix, lion, Tianma, hippocampus, sister-in-law, gambling on fish, riding a dog and bullfighting.
