Tangyue is an ancient village located near the southern foot of Mount Huangshan, approximately 7 kilometers from She County and 24 kilometers from Huangshan City. The village is renowned for its stunning collection of stone memorial archways, also known as paifang or memorial gates.

During the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) dynasties, more than 250 arches were built in Tangyue. Today, over 80 of these magnificent structures remain in excellent condition. These archways were a product of feudal society, symbolizing the traditional Chinese virtues of loyalty, filial piety, moral integrity, and righteousness.

The most famous is a set of seven Tangyue Memorial Archways, which has been designated as a Key National Cultural Protection Unit by the Chinese government. What makes this collection truly extraordinary is that every single arch had to be personally approved by the emperor before construction—a rare and prestigious honor.

Intricately carved and rich with history, each archway was erected in honor of a specific individual who performed meritorious service to their country or society. The site has also served as a filming location for several movies, including Jet Li's acclaimed film, The Warlords.

For travelers interested in Chinese history, feudal architecture, and authentic ancient villages near Huangshan, Tangyue Memorial Archways offer a unique and unforgettable experience.
