In Chinese culture, the dragon and the color red represent prosperity, longevity, and good fortune; these symbols were used to create the Chinatown Gateway in Los Angeles. LA’s Chinatown Gateway is a 25-foot tall structure that towers over the Chinatown entrance by the intersection of Cesar Chavez and North Broadway. It features a set of twin dragons, perched on top of four steel pillars, an offering of luck and longevity. However, the gateway struck misfortune when its vibrant coatings began to fade, less than three years after its initial application.
