what time one should be there for flag-raising ceremony at tiananmen square?

Question

Hi, I just booked a hotel to see this majestic performance. On the 27th of Feb, if i didn't want to miss it, what time should i be there? The reason why i am asking this is because i've told that it is really crowded by people. Any ideas? Thanx!

I went there during a Chinese holiday, so I went to the square so early. I remember around two hours before the flag-rasing time. Since you go there on a Thursday, not a holiday or even a weekend, I think you may go there about one hour before, maybe around 06:00 in the morning. I think you can consult the hotel staff to confirm again.
