Parking in residential areas, workplaces, company parking lots, and regular off-road parking lots is not a violation. There will be no penalties or deductions from the permit days. Below is relevant information: Flag-raising time: The flag-raising time at Tiananmen Square is not fixed. The earliest time is at 4:46 AM, and the latest is at 7:36 AM, with an average daily difference of 52 seconds. When planning to attend the flag-raising ceremony, you can easily check the exact time online and arrange your travel schedule accordingly. It's important to note that Tiananmen Square is closed at night and cleared of visitors. It only opens 40 minutes before the flag-raising ceremony. Since many people attend the ceremony in the early morning, it's advisable to leave early or choose off-peak times. Best viewing spots: The best place to watch the Tiananmen Square flag-raising ceremony is around the flagpole. However, if you arrive late, the areas on either side of the Golden Water Bridge are also good alternatives. To enter the square for viewing, you must pass through security checks at the entrances on the east and west sides of the square. Traffic control around Tiananmen Square is very strict. Unless you are very familiar with the area, it's best not to drive there as parking spaces are extremely hard to find.
