| General Description : | OFDC Cancellation Location: Victoria, British Columbia Gum Type: P.V.A. Illustration: Monika Melnychuk Photography: City of Victoria Archives Wooden or stone gates, known as paifang in Mandarin, were originally used to separate subdivisions in Chinese cities. Eventually, these gates lost that role, and their doors, remained but as monuments. In Canada today, these gates are often the most visible representation of Chinatown in our cities, symbolic of cooperation between various levels of Canadian and Chinese governments, businesses, and citizens. |
