- 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)
