دروازه چینی

Anfang und Ende des chinesischen Viertels sind mit diesen beeindruckenden Toren geschmückt. Sehenswert!

This Feng Shui placed Chinese gate shows where the Chinese district starts. Chinese immigrants moved to this area of The Hague from the 1970's.

The columns are made of bluestone and decorated with Chinese engraving. The painted wooden roof consists of more than a thousand parts! The gates symbolize happiness, balance and attraction. The age-old feng-shui philosophy prescribes how high the dragon gates should be and when they may be placed.

Gates should not be placed right in front of the door of a shop or business, as this would bring bad luck.
