Chinatown Gateway, Traditional paifang entrance in Old Town Chinatown, Portland, United States.
The 38-foot-tall gateway features 78 dragons and 58 mythical characters crafted from bronze, marble, granite, wood, tile, and steel components.
The Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association proposed the gate in 1984, leading to its construction in Taiwan and installation in Portland during 1986.
The inscriptions on the gate display 'Portland Chinatown' on the front and 'Four Seas, One Family' on the back in Chinese characters.
Located at the intersection of West Burnside Street and Northwest Fourth Avenue, the gate marks the entrance to Portland's Chinese cultural district.
Two bronze lion statues, one male and one female, rest on marble platforms at the base, representing the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang.
