Gateway to Chinatown

This gateway marks the entrance into Chinatown. The plaque in the middle is a replica of Dr Sun Yet Sen.’s proclamation when he overthrew the corrupt monarchy and founded a democratic republic. The four Chinese characters are translated: “All that is under heaven belongs to the people.” The remaining 4 characters on each side are the Confucian values of loyalty and compassion: on the left, for integrity, on the right, for peace.
