Chinatown Gate

Take Down Notice

​The Chinatown Edmonton-Harbin Friendship Gate has been an Edmonton civic landmark for the past 30 years. Located on 102 Avenue just east of 97 Street, it was erected in 1987 as a symbol of the close ties between the sister’s cities of Edmonton and Harbin of the People's Republic of China. The original construction was made possible through government grants from the Province of Alberta and the City of Edmonton, plus private donations from the community.
