Tángyuè Decorative Archways

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:43:06

This astonishing row of seven elaborate, decorative stone arches is quite a bizarre sight, marching off in a slight curve from the village of Tángyuè towards the fields. The stone monuments form one of the most famous collections of memorial archways in the land. There’s also the attached village to explore which contains several notable old halls and down the road, the beautifully laid out Bào Family Garden is decorated with all manner of exquisite flowering plants and trees. It’s a perfect spot for a tranquil breather.

The best way to get here is direct by tourist bus 4 from Shèxiàn, although it’s possible to get here by bus (¥5) to the drop off at Zhèngcūn Lùkǒu (郑村路口) from Túnxī and then transfer to tourist bus 4 (¥2) – or you can walk the remaining 1.5km.
