Shanxian Hundred Lions & Hundred Longevity Archways
单县百狮坊·百寿坊
A nationally protected cultural heritage site featuring Qing-dynasty stone archways carved with a hundred stone lions and a hundred variations of the character for longevity, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship.
The two archways stand in the center of Shan County on Archway Street and were both built during the Qianlong era of the Qing dynasty. The Hundred Lions Archway, a memorial arch for filial piety, has four pillars and three spans, with nearly a hundred stone lions of varying sizes and poses carved on it. The Hundred Longevity Archway is covered with the character for longevity written in seal, clerical, and regular scripts. Both are nationally protected cultural relics. The archways stand in the middle of the street, free to visit, and a visit takes about half an hour. Shan County is about 90 km from downtown Heze, and you can stop to taste Shan County lamb soup on the way and visit Fulong Lake.
