Tiananmen Square is an outstanding designed landscape in the city Beijing (Capital of China).Its location in the heart of the city, presence of surrounding symbolic eloquent infrastructure, easily access for common and general people, road pattern of surrounding areas and existing landscape features and its Green Infrastructures make Tiananmen Square a famous and prominent urban plaza. Tiananmen Square is not only the urban plaza but also an example of great aesthetical view in China. As there come many tourists, it is so important to make the place aesthetically perfect. Green Infrastructures in Tiananmen Square consist of flower gardens, trees and water bodies (water bodies can be considered as green Infrastructures). flower gardens include two lots in the Tiananmen Square full of colorful flowers.
