東圈門歷史文化街區位於揚州東關街，當時修建此門是為了拱衛兩淮都轉鹽運使司衙署，衙署內有庫房，內宅和官署等機構，目前的東圈門樓為近代所重修。

經過幾年的打造，東門和東圈門都進行了重建。如今在雙東街區的老街上又恢復或重建了許多老屋老院落，如胡仲涵故居、長樂客棧、街南書屋、華氏園、熊成基故居、逸圃、武當行宮、壺園等。

東圈門歷史街區是由東圈門街、三祝庵街、地官第街一線組成，東靠觀巷宋遺址"蕃厘觀"。這一地區是揚州城歷史發展的見證，也是揚州運河文化和鹽商文化的發祥地。

揚州有五百多條縱橫交錯的街巷。因為街道由西向東直抵東關城門，或者說直抵東關古渡。是一部耐人尋味的線裝書，濃縮了揚州的千年歷史與萬種風情。
