Built at Mao's death in September 1976, this mausoleum of cubic architecture is erected on the north-south axis of the ancient Imperial City. But contrary to tradition, the door opens north, facing Tian 'anmen Square, Mao's work. You will immediately notice the impressive tail of Chinese visitors who each day come to see the remains of the great national leader. The building was transformed into a museum in 1983 with exhibition halls on the life of Mao Zedong and the great contemporary heroes: Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi… The centerpiece is of course Mao's body itself, which rests intact, in a crystal coffin. A solemn ambience, sieved light and red carpet.

Forbidden photos (and therefore we must leave his camera outside…) and silence to respect in this national temple. The ensemble was renovated in 2007.

C'est vraiment un passage éclair mais que ce soit l'antichambre ou la salle où repose Mao; cela reste une visite solennelle et on perçoit l'émotion de chaque visiteur.
D'un point de vue pratique, les visites ne sont possibles quel matin, les sacs sont interdits et la sécurité rigoureuse.
To make by curiosity to see the skin of Mao but visiting does not last long in comparison with waiting! " (not; stationner" in front of the skin). Interesting to see the enthusiasm of some Chinese.
impressive procession of enthusiasm and meditation, you will queue for 15 minutes. do not visible from backpack, no photo if not a guard takes you to the completely safe public storage and repositions you in the queue where had left it, you will be 3 per 3 front the glass coffin without stop, the atmosphere is in charge of emotion; a gag: you buy flowers at the entrance of mausoleum, leave them in the wall, a trap door opens when the bouquets are too many and. they are reconditioned to be sold with other visitors. lol!
