The Jinmen Ancient Homeland archway is located within the ancient cultural street of Tianjin, adorned with colorful paintings in the style of ‘smoke-carved inkstone grinding jade’. The inscriptions on the archway face south with the words ‘Jinmen Ancient Homeland’ and face north with ‘Clear Snow’. ‘Jinmen’ is a nickname for Tianjin, and ‘Ancient Homeland’ refers to an old place, thus ‘Jinmen Ancient Homeland’ signifies the old location of Tianjin, implying the birthplace of Tianjin.
‘Clear’ indicates good weather, and ‘Snow’ carries the meaning of ‘washing’; ‘Clear Snow’ represents the scenery after a fresh snowfall, with a clear blue sky and bustling streets, symbolizing a very pure mood, as if washed clean. Visitors come here to offer incense to the Empress of Heaven, blessing for a good future. The site is open all year round, accessible 24/7.Jinmen Ancient Homeland
