The Chinese House Symbolic Gate (Guideway Gate) in Hirobaba, Nagasaki Shinchi Chinatown, is a small but very beautiful gate.

First day of sightseeing in Nagasaki 〘NagasakiShinchiChinatown〙Wandering around the city at night...I came here to eat champon, but the restaurant I was aiming for, Kozanrou, was closing, so I gave up on champon and just walked around.

I ate at Kozanrou last time, and I love the Chinese sweets, Mafa'er...In Nagasaki, they are called Yoriyori, and are very hard, twine-like Chinese sweets, but recently they have also started selling soft types.

Nagasaki Togashi Soshurin was still open, so I first bought a regular Mafa'er for myself and a soft Mafa'er for a souvenir...I thought people who don't know about it wouldn't be able to eat the hard regular ones.
Both were reasonably priced at 540 yen per bag, with 7 pieces each.

In front of the entrance gate to Shinchi Chinatown, many tourists were taking photos, and it was very lively.
I also walked around taking photos of the various shops, some still open and some closed.

Even when closed, the shops in Chinatown are bright, with bright colors and beautiful storefronts that look good, and all the shops are beautiful.

Red pillars and gates, golden dragon decorations, red lanterns and lanterns.
The signs in many places in Chinatown are each different with dragons, heavenly maidens, and various other designs, and are brightly lit, making it flashy even at night.

The symbolic gate of the [Hirobaba] Tojin Yashiki, located near the flashy Chinatown, is a pair of gray stone gates, and although its color is modest, it has a very solid image, and compared to the flashy Suzaku Gate in Chinatown, this simple and modest gate may be more eye-catching. It might be fun to take a detour to look around a bit.
