The largest Chinatown gate is in Washington D.C. and is called the Friendship Archway. Built in 1985, it stands 47 feet 7 inches (14.50 m) tall and 75 feet (23 m) wide and cost a million dollars to build! It was designed to attract visitors to the area to boost foot traffic for local business and support the community. 

Unfortunately, development in the area has made the property value skyrocket and displaced most of the residents. As of now there are roughly 300 people living in Washington D.C. Chinatown. This is a cautionary tale for other Chinatowns nation-wide.
