Ô Quan Chưởng, Ancient city gate in Old Quarter, Hanoi, Vietnam.
The gate features three entrance doors with a central pavilion and stone decorations bearing Chinese characters at its main entrance point.
Built in 1749 and reconstructed in 1817, this structure served as one of 21 gates protecting the former Thang Long imperial citadel.
The gate marks the intersection between commercial and residential areas, reflecting traditional Vietnamese architectural principles through its wooden structure and stone elements.
The monument stands at the junction of Hang Chieu and Dao Duy Tu streets, offering visitors direct access to Dong Xuan Market and Bach Ma Temple.
A stone stele from 1881 remains on the left wall, documenting Governor Hoang Dieu's official prohibition against guard harassment of citizens.
