North Gate of Taipei City, Historic city gate in Zhongzheng District, Taiwan.
The North Gate features a two-story structure with a single-eaved hip-and-gable roof, solid brick walls, and watchtower windows for surveillance purposes.
Built in 1884 during the Qing Dynasty, this fortification served as the main entrance to Taipei City and the primary route to the Dadaocheng trading area.
Among the five original gates of Taipei City Wall, the North Gate remains the only one maintaining its authentic Fujian architectural design from the Qing period.
The gate stands at the intersection of Zhongxiao West Road and Boai Road, accessible through Exit 2 of Beimen MRT Station with a five-minute walk.
The stone foundation utilizes andesite from Dazhi Mountain, arranged in an interlocking pattern that creates an exceptionally strong base structure.
