Beijing marches toward big day with parade rehearsal

If you are planning to spend Saturday under the autumn sun in Tian'anmen Square, forget it.

The square, in the heart of Beijing, will be beyond public access until early Sunday morning. The first rehearsal for the grand parade to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the People's Republic of China will be held from 3 am on Saturday to 2 am on Sunday.

The rehearsal, involving about 200,000 people and 60 floats, will be divided into three parts, according to the 60th National Day Celebration Preparation Committee of the Beijing municipal government.
