Chinatown Gate

Fodor's Review:

Recognizable by its 5 roofs, 64 dragons, and 2 huge lions, the Chinatown Gate is the official entrance to the Chinatown District. During the 1890s, Portland had the second-largest Chinese community in the United States. Today's Chinatown is compressed into a handful of blocks with a few restaurants (many prefer Chinese eateries outside the district), shops, and grocery stores.
