    This is a small area around and along Van Wesenbekestraat north of Koningin Astridplein and Antwerp Central Station. A distinctive landmark is a Chinese Monument Gate flanked by two traditional guardian lions. Along the street you will find expected Chinese and a variety of other Asian eateries, food shops and general items aimed at serving the Asian community.

    The Pagoda Gate accentuates the entrance to this street, similar to "Chinatowns" in major cities like London and New York.
    The Pagoda Gate was built at the request of Antwerp's Chinese community.
    This gate enhances the vibrant character of the station area. It creates an attractive passage from Konigsberg Astridplein (Central Station) to De Coninckplein.
