The Chinatown Gate at the corner of Beach Street and Surface Road T: South Station is the most visible symbol of Chinatown for the tourists. The urban plaza on the east side of the gate was built as part of the Big Dig highway project, which demolished and displaced residents from tenement houses along Hudson Street.
The Edward Wong Square at the intersection of Beach Street and Harrison Street was the hub of Chinatown for its residents.
Four community murals and old ads still adorning the sides of brick buildings.
