Vancouver
Chinatown Millennium Gate (gallery)
Pender Street and Taylor Street (map)
The Vancouver Chinatown Millennium Gate was undertaken
by the Vancouver Chinatown Millennium society. To inaugurate the new
Millennium, a physical structure that is symbolic of both past and future
was planned to commemorate this "Journey in Time." The Millennium
Gate was chosen with a mandate to strengthen Chinatown's image and joint
community involvement. Incorporating both Eastern and Western symbols
with traditional and modern Chinese themes in its construction and appearance,
the Gate is erected on Pender Street and Taylor. |
