The Gate of Harmonious Interest is the main gate of Chinatown in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. It was constructed in 1981 as a part of revitalization efforts. The gate is located on Fisgard Street (at Government Street). The Gate of Harmonious Interest was modelled after the entrance gateway to the famous Dunhuang Caves in northwestern China and the gate of Pingshan Hall in Yangzhou, eastern China. The top of the gate is a stupa, and its roof is covered with golden glazed tiles, and decorated with Chinese supernatural creatures on the corner ridges. In the central part of the arch is the Chinese name plate bearing three characters, “Tongjimen, ” meaning the Gate of Harmonious Interest. The three square panels on each side of the name plate are decorated with gold-foil gilded dragons. The two Chinese verses on the front of arch’s two side-panels means “to work together with one mind” and “to help each other to achieve harmony.” *** Description sourced from Wikipedia and the University of Victoria Library website.
