Qingbomen, City gate in Hangzhou, China.
The stone arch gate contains a 20-meter water channel beneath its structure, integrating water management with defensive architecture along Hangzhou's city perimeter.
Originally constructed during the Yuan Dynasty in 1359 under Zhang Shicheng's rule, this gate managed water flow between the Qiantang River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
The walls near Zhongshan South Road display relief carvings depicting marriage ceremonies, market activities, and daily life around the water gate from past centuries.
Visitors can reach the gate using metro line 7 and bus number 4 from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport or take public transport from Hangzhou East Railway Station.
The structure remains the sole surviving ancient city gate in Hangzhou, maintaining its original Yuan and Ming Dynasty channel configuration beneath the main passage.
