Its name Zhongshanmen (Chinese: 中山门; lit. 'Middle Mountain Gate') originated in 1947, when the Nationalist government constructed a series of fortification in Tianjin during the Chinese Civil War. A huge metal gate was installed within this region, along with a inscription reading: "Zhongshanmen". Later people started to refer to the area by this name.[2]
