Gate of Harmonious Interest, Traditional Chinese gate in Chinatown, Victoria, Canada
The Gate of Harmonious Interest spans Fisgard Street with red and gold decorations, reaching a height of 38 feet above the street level.
Built in 1981 through collaboration between the City of Victoria and Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, the gate marks the revitalization of Canada's oldest Chinatown.
Two stone lions from Suzhou guard the gate, which displays inscriptions promoting community unity through messages about working together and achieving harmony.
The entrance structure stands at the intersection of Fisgard and Government Streets, serving as the primary marker for visitors entering the historic district.
Time capsules sealed within the outer red pillars contain artifacts meant to remain unopened until the years 2081 and 2096.
