STORYLINE:
36 years have passed since the bloody crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing, when the Chinese government ordered in the army to end a months-long protests and uphold Communist rule.
An estimated 180,000 troops and armed police rolled in with tanks and armoured vehicles and fired into crowds as they pushed toward Tiananmen Square.
China has long silenced memorials as well as victims’ families.
The topic is treated as taboo, and the death toll remains unknown to this day.
Estimates run from hundreds to thousands.
On Wednesday, hundreds of tourists were seen lining the streets leading to the gates to enter Tiananmen Square, with security checkpoints at each block leading to the square.
The Gate of Heavenly Peace appeared to be renovated with red scaffolding covering the iconic structure.
