At daybreak on October 1, the heart of Beijing beat with pride as citizens gathered at Tiananmen Square to celebrate the Chinese mainland’s 76th National Day 🇨🇳. Under a soft pink sky, the Five-Starred Red Flag ascended to the tune of the national anthem, creating a goosebump-inducing moment for everyone present.
The ceremony began with a powerful military band performance, its drums echoing across the vast square. Attendees – from families to students – snapped photos and shared the scene live, bringing #MorningGlow vibes to social feeds 🌅📸.
As the flag reached its peak, cheers and applause filled the air. Elderly residents offered warm wishes for continued prosperity, while young travelers from the Asian diaspora smiled at the unity on display. It was a reminder that traditions can feel fresh, even on the 76th anniversary.
With the sun now high above the ancient gates, the celebration continued with cultural performances and local snacks. For many, today’s flag-raising isn’t just a ceremony – it’s a moment to connect history, community, and hope for the future 🎉.
