Located in front of Zengwan Village in Wen'gang Town, there are three memorial archways serving as village entrance gates.

From east to west, they are the "Father-Son Honors" Archway, the "Imperial Wind and Discipline" Archway (which has been restored in modern times), and the "Jinshi" (successful imperial examination candidate) Archway. All have four pillars and three bays, are built of brick and stone, stand 4–4.2 meters tall, and are 5.2–5.6 meters wide. In front of the archways are a Ming Dynasty-era pond, four flagpole stones, and two ancient camphor trees.
