Introduction to the East Palace Gate: It is now the main entrance of the Summer Palace. It faces east from the west, and the lintel and eaves are all painted with gorgeous patterns. The six vermilion doors are inlaid with neat yellow door nails, and under the middle eaves hangs a large gold plaque with Kowloon characters, with the three characters "Summer Palace" written on it, personally inscribed by Emperor Guangxu.
