If you're looking for a classic attraction in a hugely interesting place to visit, Beijing's Forbidden City certainly lives up to expectation.
I had opportunity to reflect with @Gene on the subject recently and reflect on some highlights, enjoy.

While @Gene and I were discussing Tiananmen Square, we touched upon marching and ceremonies which visitors to the world's largest public square may observe.
There are a number of ceremonies and observances throughout the year which involve a performance here, including National Day, which occurs each 1st of October and is rather larger in scale and duration.
In my mind, the most easily observed ceremonies occur twice daily and involve the raising or lowering of the flag and precisely timed in their performance while generally coinciding with the rising and setting of the sun.
Your best bet for catching a glimpse with your own eyes is to check the daily sunrise and sunset times for those dates you intend to visit, and then plan to arrive to the square sufficiently early as to secure a comfortable spot to view among the crowds of foreign and domestic visitors the square enjoys.
