Meinong East Gate Tower, Historical city gate in Meinong District, Taiwan.
The Meinong East Gate Tower rises 10.63 meters from its foundation, featuring traditional Qing Dynasty architectural elements on its eastern entrance.
Built in 1755 as a defensive structure, the gate underwent restoration in 1937 after its destruction during an 1895 revolt against Japanese forces.
The gate's front displays a banner with 'Initiation of Civilization,' reflecting the influence of Hakka merchants and local dignitaries through generations.
Visitors can find the monument at coordinates 22°53'44.1"N and 120°32'55.9"E, within walking distance from Meinong's central district.
During the Pacific War, the structure contained a bell that functioned as an air-raid alarm system for the local population.
