Queen's mantra in a special place in Beijing (9,6)

I believe the answer is:

tiananmen square

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'place in beijing' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'queen's mantra in a special' is the wordplay.
'special' indicates an anagram.
'queens'+'mantra'+'in'+'a'='queensmantraina'
'queensmantraina' anagrammed gives 'TIANANMEN SQUARE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
