Ancient Yongjin Gate – Where West Lake's Waters Once Flowed into Hangzhou

#chinatravel Once the southern entrance to Hangzhou’s city walls, this reconstructed Ming Dynasty gate (originally built in 1366) marks where the old Grand Canal connected to West Lake. Today, its stone arch stands as a quiet sentinel between history and modernity, where joggers pass 800-year-old foundation stones without a glance. ℹ️ Explorer’s Guide 📍 Location: Hubin Rd & Nanshan Rd intersection (near Qiantang Gate Ruins Park) 🚶 Access: Free 24/7 (night lighting until 11PM) 📜 Nearby History: 5-min walk to Southern Song Imperial Street excavations

Compared with the silhouette of the gardens by the West Lake, I prefer the scenery of the lake and mountains under the winter sunset.
