Summary
| Description |
English:
The scene shows the arrival at the “Porte de Chine” of the military commander of Guangxi, Marshal Su Yuan Chuan (蘇元春)[Su Yuanchun] and his official entourage on 16 July 1900. The procession of sedan chairs, guarded by soldiers, had just passed through the outer gatehouse into French Indo-China (Vietnam). Marshal Su had been invited as a guest to celebrate the inaugural train of the railway connecting Hanoi with Dang Dong (同登 Tongdeng ), close to the Nam-Quan (南關) frontier post between China and Vietnam. The large main gate, located behind the small outer gatehouse, survives today as a heritage building near today’s Friendship Pass (友誼關 s:友谊关 Youyiguan.)
