I wonder how many snipers will be out there.
For those of you in Beijing, it would be fun to see who can spot more snipers
(actually don't do it. I think they will shoot you if they think you are looking at them)

What if i go further from Tian'anmen, like a road where the troops passing, i think there are coming from north.
Do you know which road there are taking to Chang'an Jie? Second ring road? Dongsi Dajie?
I will order CCTV dvd, so i can still watching on tv.

If you cant go and watch it, then who were all the people, other than the VIP's that were linning the streets and sitting in the cheap seats in the 1999 parade.
I only heard one marching music played on the 40 min clip on youtube. I hope they can come up with more than one this time as IMO it can get a bit monotonous after a while.
ff just digressing a moment when you guys were talking about the olmpic opening ceremony, what was with the bagpipes, IMO they over did it there playing the bagpipes when the different countries were entering, and wheres the connection between bagpipes and chinese culture?

I'm probably going to by the dvd and try to watch the parade on the cctv website. My cable package doesn't include cctv-9. I'm probably only going to get bits and pieces trying to watch the other stations.
I'm disappointed that Blue Ocean Network isn't planning to cover the parade live or at least that's my impression looking at their program guide.
Does anyone know if sinovision will be covering the parade in it's entirty?

1. those were organized crowd watching from the street. if u didnt notice in the 1999 parade video, they held big coloured boards/flowers over their head and flip them once in a while.If you cant go and watch it, then who were all the people, other than the VIP's that were linning the streets and sitting in the cheap seats in the 1999 parade.

2. that 1 song is the parade music and it will be used again, yes that's the only one. u can even hear it in cctv videos when they are interviewing in the parade village
3. olympics had 4 (i think it was 4) different bands from different continents to play different music, it wasn't all bagpipe.
4. i believe you can live-stream the parade from cctv.com
Ok, found an answer
Red Flag limo to grace National Day parade.
September 25, 2009
Chinese automaker FAW Car Co., Ltd. said yesterday that its HQE limousine of the time-honored Hongqi (Red Flag) brand has been designated for official use in the grand military parade in Beijing on National Day, Oct. 1. Jiefang Daily reported.
The Red Flag premium sedan was domestically designed and developed by FAW Car, an old unit of Chinese auto giant FAW Group. The famous Chinese sedan was mainly used by China's high-ranking officials in the 1950s-1980s. The upcoming national celebrations will restore this "official sedan" brand to its former glory.
Chinese President Hu Jintao is expected to ride in the new HQE limo to inspect a grand military parade across Tiananmen Square in Beijing on October 1, 2009, a special National Day to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
As it is a 100% handmade limo, the HQE costs more than 3 million yuan ($439,300). It stretches over 6 meters long. The Chinese-developed V12 engine produces 300kw at 5600rpm and a max torque of 550nm at 4000rpm, and the cylinders measure 84mm x 90mm.
FAW expects this expensive sedan model to rival Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bentley. This can also be easily seen from the model's new exterior, interior, configurations and powertrain while it still features the Red Flag brand's classic elements.
The HQE will be the most expensive Hongqi car ever produced by FAW, with mass production to begin in late 2009, and is likely to go on sale by the end of this year for more than 3 million yuan.
