Nanxunmen, famous as a "smaller Tian'anmen" with its similar look, is the only remaining gate of the six ancient gates in Yinchuan city, Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region.

The 27.5-meter building, facing south and locally called "Nanmenlou", is made up of a 20.5-meter two-story pagoda and a pedestal, which are 7 meters tall, 88 meters long and 24.5 meters wide.

The well-preserved ancient gate, listed in 1985 as a city-level cultural relic protection unit in Yinchuan, attracts many visitors.
