Wulin Gate, Ancient stone gate in Xiacheng District, Hangzhou, China.

The gate features traditional Chinese architectural elements with stone foundations, wooden beams, and curved roof tiles at coordinates 30°16'23"N, 120°9'10"E.

Constructed during the Yuan Dynasty, Wulin Gate served as one of ten land gates built in 1359 under Zhang Shicheng's fortification project of Hangzhou.

The name Wulin, meaning martial forest, represents the gate's position as a strategic entry point connecting the Grand Canal to Hangzhou's inner waterways.

Visitors can reach the gate via Wulin Square underground station, with Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport located 31 kilometers from the site.

The gate maintains its original 20-meter water channel underneath, which has remained unaltered since the Yuan and Ming dynasties.
