Description
Chicago's Chinatown Gateway is an impressive symbol of the rich cultural heritage of Chicago's Chinese community. Built in 1975 by architect Peter Fung and inspired by the Beijing Gateway, it is a unique combination of traditional Chinese architecture and modern techniques.
Decorative tiles atop the gate feature hand-painted signs with the message 'The World Belongs to the Community,' reflecting China's transition to the republic and honoring the pioneering spirit of Chinese settlers in Chicago.
The gate is the perfect starting point for exploring the vibrant Chinatown district with its restaurants, bakeries and stores offering traditional Chinese products.
