Tiananmen and surrounding areas

I took these one morning after waking up at 4 am and unable to go back to sleep.  I had a meeting that morning just down the road from Tiananmen and I had never seen the morning flag raising ceremony so I jumped on my bike at 5 and headed out.  After the flag raising ceremony, which wasn't that amazing, I headed to a park and then to Wang Fu Jing Street.  These are the photos I took that morning.
