Dragon Gate, Ceremonial gate in Chinatown, San Francisco, United States.

Dragon Gate is a south-facing pailou of three portals at Bush Street and Grant Avenue, its larger central vehicle opening flanked by two pedestrian portals reached by three shallow steps. Stone columns rise from the sidewalks, each portal carries green tiles, and a stone lion stands on the far side of each pedestrian entrance. The central inscription reads 天下為公.

A gate at Bush and Grant was proposed in 1953 by Charles L. Leong, winner of a Chinese Chamber of Commerce essay contest, and made a priority by the Chinatown Improvement Committee in 1956. A 1967 design competition open to architects of Chinese descent was won by Clayton Lee with Melvin H. Lee and Joseph Yee. Ground was broken in October 1967, construction ran from August 1968 to April 1969, and the gate was dedicated on October 18, 1970, before a crowd of 3,000.

Each portal carries four characters read right to left: the central one says 天下為公 ("the world belongs to all"), the east 忠孝仁愛 and the west 信義和平. The stone lions were carved in Taiwan, the male to the west holding a pearl under its right paw, the female to the east with a cub under its left. Fish and dragons on the gate stand for prosperity and for power and fertility.

The gate is located at the intersection of Bush Street and Grant Avenue with convenient access via multiple transit lines. Visitors can explore the area on foot, as the neighborhood offers plenty of shops, restaurants, and other attractions nearby.

The male lion at the west portal rests its right paw on a pearl, while the female at the east portal holds a cub under her left paw; both were carved in Taiwan. The central inscription reads "天下為公" (the world belongs to all), and the side portals carry the eight virtues: "忠孝仁愛" east and "信義和平" west.
