Ping Yuen against the backdrop of San Francisco's Financial District

... that the name of Ping Yuen, a public housing complex in San Francisco's Chinatown, translates to "Tranquil Gardens"? Source: [1] ("the committee chose 'Ping Yuen', meaning 'Tranquil Gardens,' ...")

Comment: Possible alternative hook (needs source check): ALT1: ... that Ping Yuen ("Tranquil Gardens"), a public housing complex in San Francisco's Chinatown, has an entrance modeled after a temple in Beijing?

Comment: In reading contemporary news coverage, the paifang (entrance gate) at Ping Yuen (modeled after a temple in Beijing) is also the oldest in America. Source: San Francisco housing unit follows Far Eastern motif. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 16:04, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Update: The paifangs at Chinatown Central Plaza in Los Angeles predate this (west gate, 1938; east gate, 1939); hence the source is mistaken. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 16:42, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PS: I believe this falls under QPQ exemption, but just in case: I recently provided this review. Regards, HaeB (talk) 04:15, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article meets DYK requirements, no close paraphrasing was found. Only ALT1 is approved as the first is not exactly interesting to a broad audience. ALT1 is cited inline and verified in the source. The image used in the nom is probably unsuitable as it doesn't show off the article subject much; I could suggest using the image of the gate itself in its place, although I'm not sure if it looks good in a small size. Although a QPQ was done, it was not necessary. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:45, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just the gate

Some alternative images of just the gate (at Central Ping Yuen):

1960 (note the gate is open and does not have a fence, which was added after 1978)
2008 (partially cropped, but shows more detail in the building and balcony decoration)
2016 (as used in article)
2019 (alternate angle)
