Located in Shexian County of Huangshan City, Tangyue Village is famous for its memorial archways. The Tangyue Memorial Archways are composed of seven arches, arranged in the order of fealty, filial piety, morals and righteousness, and they were listed as key national cultural protection units under the approval of the State Council in 1996. It is the biggest memorial archway in Anhui province, and it is flanked by the Men Ancestral Temple and Women Ancestral Temple. Also an important tourist location in Huangshan City, the two temples have many delicate brick carvings, stone carvings and wood carvings. [China.org.cn]
