Yongjin Gate, Ancient city gate in Hangzhou, China

The Yongjin Gate features stone arch construction with traditional Chinese architectural elements spanning across a 20-meter water channel beneath its structure.

Established in 936, the gate underwent reconstruction during the Ming Dynasty, changing its name from the original Fengshan Gate to its current designation.

The stone reliefs along the gate walls depict detailed scenes of traditional daily activities from the historical periods of Hangzhou residents.

Located at coordinates 30.246492, 120.160535, this gate remains accessible to visitors as the sole surviving ancient city entrance in Hangzhou.

The water passage under Yongjin Gate maintains its original Yuan and Ming Dynasty design, connecting directly to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal system.
