South Gate of Taipei City, Historical city gate in Zhongzheng District, Taiwan.
The South Gate of Taipei City features red brick walls, decorative stone carvings, and guardian statues positioned at both sides of its entrance point.
Built between 1879 and 1884 during the Qing Dynasty, this gate formed part of the defensive wall system that encircled and protected Taipei City.
The gate functions as a central location for traditional festivals and ceremonies, connecting present-day residents with centuries of Taiwanese heritage and customs.
Located at the intersection of Gongyuan Road and Aiguo West Road, the gate stands within walking distance from MRT Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall Station.
While the original city walls were demolished during Japanese rule, this gate survived and underwent reconstruction under the Kuomintang government to its current form.
