Taipei North Gate (Chinese: 臺北府城北門), formally Cheng'en Gate (Chinese: 承恩門), is a historical gate in Taipei, Taiwan, and a national monument.[1][2][3] Constructed in 1884, it is the best-preserved gate of the historical Walls of Taipei. Its design is a two-story closed blockhouse of solid construction with traditional Chinese wooden roof truss and streamlined carved ornamentations. [4] Important in the Qing layout of the city, restoring it to visual prominence in the city has been a feature of recent urban planning.[5][6] It gives its name to Beimen metro station.
