New gate in Henan dubbed giant ’trouser belt’ (3/3)

The photo taken on May 11, 2014 shows the newly designed North Gate entrance of Yichuan county in central China’s Henan. The red U-shaped iron arch leans forward above a multilane highway, with two poles supporting the main structure. The gate, whose construction began in 2012, has been dubbed by Chinese netizens the "giant trouser belt." Local citizens complained that they have to go through a belt when going into and out of town. [Photo: IC]
