Route planning
How should foreign tourists handle Tiananmen Square reservations?
In short
Treat Tiananmen Square as a real-name reservation and security-check problem before the Beijing day is built. Check the current official reservation path, passport support, WeChat or phone-number requirements, and whether a related official reservation can cover the same time window.

Current Beijing official reservation guidance, Tiananmen Square reservation system, WeChat mini-program behavior, passport support, phone-number verification, related venue reservation rules, security checks, and time-slot availability. Tickets, weather, transport timing, hotel areas, attraction access, and local operator rules still need current checks before booking.
Recovery template
Use the answer as a recovery path, not just a reading page
Start with the immediate move, keep a human or offline fallback, and only rely on live rules after checking the official operator, provider, or source.

Remove one transfer, protect the arrival night, and keep one stable first base if the route depends on too many live systems working immediately.
Do not assume
Do not treat this answer as final live proof. Do not use as a fixed itinerary without checking season, weather, ticketing, transport, hotel area, traveler pace, and live attraction rules.
