Because the west gate is just a wall with the words and school emblem of the University of Hong Kong on it (even the words and school emblem have disappeared since the subway was built near the University of Hong Kong). Dongzha, on the other hand, is just a relatively small arched arch with the words "Hong Kong University" on it.
