About Zhonghua Gate
Zhonghua Gate, formerly known as Jubao Gate, is located at the south end of Zhonghua Road, Qinhuai District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, and on the north side of Changgan Bridge. It is one of the thirteen gates in the Nanjing Ming City Wall and is the largest existing city gate in China. Zhonghua Gate is located in the south of Nanjing City in the Ming Dynasty. It was expanded on the old sites of the south gates of Jiangning Prefecture and Jiankang Prefecture during the Hongwu Period of the Ming Dynasty. It took a total of 21 years. The gate foundation is made of giant strips of stone, and the walls are built with large bricks and reinforced with an adhesive mixed with glutinous rice juice, lime and tung oil.
