The Chinese Arch (Spanish: Arco Chino), also known as the Chinese Portal (Spanish: Portada China),[1] is a paifang located at the entrance of Lima's Chinatown.
It was donated by the Peruvian Chinese colony for the Sesquicentennial of the Independence of Peru and inaugurated with a great party on November 12, 1971, by the mayor of Lima Eduardo Dibós as part of the remodeling and enhancement of the area as a tourist attraction.[2][3][4]
In 2017, two 1.80-metre, 2.5-ton sculptures of lions located in the arch were unveiled.[5]
