Hepingmen, Historical city gate in Nanjing, China.

The Hepingmen gate serves as a passage connecting the northern and southern sections of Xinhua Street in the urban area of Nanjing.

The gate was constructed in 1926 with two arched openings in the city wall, measuring 13 meters in height and 10 meters in width.

The name changes of Hepingmen from Xinhuamen to Xinghuamen and back to Hepingmen reflect the social transformations of different historical periods.

The removal of the gate structure in 1958 transformed the area into an open passage, improving traffic flow between the inner and outer city sections.

Unlike traditional Chinese city gates, Hepingmen was constructed without a gatehouse or defensive enceinte, focusing solely on facilitating urban transportation.
