A group of memorial archways bestowed by Emperor Guangxu of the Qing dynasty to honor Chen Fang, the first Chinese commercial consul in Hawaii, and his family for their philanthropy. Chen Fang was a rare “millionaire” diplomat among overseas Chinese; in his later years he returned home to buy land, build houses and benefit his hometown. The Lingnan-style mansions and Chen family temple in the scenic area are well preserved, the archways are exquisitely carved, and the East-meets-West details of the estates mirror the overseas Chinese community's devotion to home and country — the most complete physical witness to Zhuhai's modern overseas Chinese history.
Getting there: Bus / self-drive, Qianshan
