A gateway to another world
The Chinatown Gate marks the entrance to Chinatown in Boston. It is a decorative arch donated to the community by the city of Taipei. Built in white marble, it has the characteristic pagoda roof and is guarded at the sides by statues of Chinese lions. It is surrounded by the small green area of Chinatown Park, a public park full of Feng Shui sculptures. Beyond this monumental gate is Chinatown, which seems almost like another world, with its specialty shops and the telephone booths with temple-shaped roofs.
