The Zhao Lilun Centenarian Memorial Archway is located between the Old South Gate and Dingguang Gate in Qingyan Ancient Town, formerly known as Daciwo. It was built in the 23rd year of the Daoguang reign during the Qing Dynasty (1843). The stone archway is a four-pillared, three-bayed, three-story hip-and-gable roof structure, standing majestically on South Street, facing south and backed by the north, just thirty meters away from Dingguang Gate. Stone lions guard the pillars on both the southern and northern sides, each standing 0.65 meters tall, with gaping mouths, round eyes, front paws clutching treasures, and hind legs braced against the pillars. Despite over a century of wind and rain erosion, the stone lions remain vividly lifelike and exquisitely crafted.
