Dongshuimen

Dongshuimen, Historic site in Chongqing, China

Dongshuimen is a Ming-dynasty city gate on the Yangtze in Yuzhong District, Chongqing, beneath the Dongshuimen Yangtze River Bridge and beside the Huguang Guild Hall. Its opening measures 3.1 m wide, 4.5 m high and 6.6 m thick; the gate tower that once stood above it is gone.

Dongshuimen was built in the Ming dynasty as a gate in Chongqing's city wall, measuring 3.1 m wide, 4.5 m high and 6.6 m thick; its gate tower no longer survives. It was listed as a municipal cultural relic in 1992 and, with Tongyuanmen under the name "Chongqing Ancient City Wall", as a National Key Cultural Relic in 2013.

The gate stands beside the Huguang Guild Hall, a meeting place for migrants from Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi. Its name, East Water Gate, refers to its role in the old city wall, where it faced the Yangtze River. The gate is now part of the Chongqing Ancient City Wall heritage site.

The site is well connected by public transportation and located near restaurants and local services. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the stone paving can be uneven, and exploring on foot works best.

The gate's upper tower no longer exists; only the stone opening remains, 3.1 metres wide, 4.5 metres high and 6.6 metres thick. It stands beneath the Dongshuimen Yangtze River Bridge, next to the Huguang Guild Hall, and was listed as a national key cultural relic in 2013 as part of the "Chongqing Ancient City Wall".
