A stunning historical reconstruction of the grand south gate of Luoyang City from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, restored in 2016. The gate is particularly impressive at night, illuminated by golden lights, creating a lively atmosphere with many cosplayers and visitors exploring the area.
The Yingtian Gate, Ying Tian Men was the southern gate of the imperial palace in Luoyang during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and it may have been the largest city gate in ancient China. Ancient Japan constructed capital gates with the same names Ōtenmon (応天門) in the cities of Heian-kyō and Heijō-kyō.
