A passage heading records the destruction of the Gate of China on 25 February 1885.

A section heading in the battle article records the destruction of the Gate of China on 25 February 1885, two days after the battle. The heading alone supplies no further details about the location of the gate, the circumstances of its destruction, or its strategic significance, so those aspects remain unrecorded here.
