Dragon Gate Inn

The Legend of the Dragon Gate

Centuries ago, a large school of carp began swimming upstream against the strong current of the Yellow River in China.

Located at the end of the Yellow River was a great waterfall, and on top of the waterfall stood the mighty Dragon Gate.

The journey upstream was hard and treacherous. Almost all the carp grew discouraged and gave up the journey along the way.

Legend has it that after much struggle and persistence, a single carp reached the top of the Yellow River, and made the almighty leap up the waterfall and through the Dragon Gate.

Upon passing the Dragon Gate, the carp was transformed into a powerful golden dragon.
