About Longtu Xueshi and Cishi Chuanfang Gateways

Two memorial gateways stand side by side, separated by a narrow lane, in Shuikou village in Le'an County. The Longtu Xueshi gateway was first built in 1368, rebuilt in 1473 and put up by the Peng family in memory of their ancestor Peng Yanzhao, while the Cishi Chuanfang gateway dates from the Yuan period and was rebuilt in 1751 for another ancestor, Peng Gan. It is a national heritage unit and a short stop for anyone interested in timber architecture.
