Archway of “No.1 Mountain under The Sun”

The Archway of “No.1 Mountain under The Sun”, measuring approximately 17.8 meters in height and 22.2 meters in width, is one of the largest archways in China. The archway, in the traditional architectural style of the late Ming and Qing Dynasties, has upturned eaves looking both sophisticated and elegant. Mr. Guo Moruo, a very famous writer in modern Chinese history wrote a beautiful inscription on its face in 1959, and Mr. Zhao Puchu, the chairman of China Buddhism Association, inscribed the Chinese characters “Holy Land of Buddhism” on its back side.
