Dongquan Gate, City gate in Dongguan Subdistrict, Yangzhou, China.

The Dongquan Gate stands as a fortified entrance point in Yangzhou, featuring traditional architectural elements and ornate decorative patterns on its stone walls.

Built during the Ming Dynasty, this gate formed an essential part of Yangzhou's defensive system, protecting the city's eastern section from potential invasions.

The gate marks the beginning of Dongguan Street, which spans 1,122 meters and contains more than 20 important historical structures within its vicinity.

Visitors can access Dongquan Gate through multiple bus lines, including routes 25, 45, 52, and 58, with the site remaining open for viewing throughout the day.

The gate sits within the Shuangdong Historical Block, an 83-hectare district where ancient lanes named after peonies and temples intersect the main thoroughfare.
