The Secrets of the Gate

Anonymous

Every person in Victoria recognizes the Gate of Harmonious Interest—but did you know it holds hidden messages for the future?

Erected in 1981 on Fisgard Street, this striking 38-foot structure was designed by urban planner Mickey Lam to symbolize unity between Chinese and non-Chinese communities. Beyond its ornate beauty, the gate contains two thoughtful inscriptions: “To work together with one heart” and “To help each other achieve harmony.”

But perhaps the most intriguing detail lies inside—two time capsules are sealed within its structure, set to be opened in 2081 and 2096.
