The Chinatown West Gate is installed in Los Angeles' Chinatown neighborhood, in the U.S. state of California.

Installed in 1938, the structure exhibits traditional Chinese design and displays characters which translate to "Cooperate to Achieve". The gate has 150-year-old camphor wood from China. After being nominated by the Los Angeles Conservancy, the West Gate was designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument, No. 825.^[1] California Governor Frank Merrimack placed a bronze tablet at the site that commemorates Chinese-American contributions to California's growth.^[2]
