Located about half a li north of Qingyan Ancient Town on the ancient post road from Guiyang to Huishui. It was built in June of the 19th year of the Daoguang reign during the Qing Dynasty (1839). The stone archway features a four-pillar, three-bay, three-story hip-and-gable roof design, standing approximately 9.5 meters high and 9 meters wide. It faces north and backs south, with cloud-drum column guards on all four sides of the pillars, along with rectangular column bases. The central pillar on both the northern and southern sides, as well as the inner surfaces of the three gateways within the three bays, are adorned with engraved vertical plaques in regular script praising Zhao Caizhang. The right-side stone beam has been damaged and broken (though it has not yet fallen), and a wall made of cement mortar has been built to support it, covering the inscriptions.
