Pan Gate, Ancient water and land gate in Suzhou, China
The Pan Gate complex includes three main structures: the double-gate fortification, the Ruiguang Pagoda, and the Wu Gate Bridge crossing the canal.
Built during the Spring and Autumn period around 514 BCE, the gate served as the only entrance point through Suzhou's defensive wall system.
The first floor of the red two-story gate building contains exhibitions of ancient Chinese weapons from different historical periods.
Visitors can reach the Pan Gate Scenic Area by taking public buses that stop at the northern entrance of the complex.
The structure combines both water and land passages, allowing boats to pass under the gate while people and carts moved through the upper level.
