Meixi Memorial Archways
梅溪牌坊
Qing-dynasty stone memorial archways bestowed by imperial decree on the family of Chen Fang, an overseas Chinese who lived in the United States. Together with Chen Fang's former residence, they form an overseas Chinese cultural scenic area.
The Meixi Memorial Archways stand in Meixi Village, Qianshan, Xiangzhou District. In the Guangxu era of the Qing dynasty, the court ordered stone archways built to honor Chen Fang, a Chinese merchant living in Honolulu, and his family. The stone carvings blend Chinese and Western styles, making them a representative heritage site of Zhuhai's overseas Chinese hometown. The scenic area also includes Chen Fang's former residence, the Chen Family Garden and Chen Fang's tomb, which display his experiences of building wealth in Honolulu and donating to his hometown. It is about 8 km from Gongbei and easy to reach by taxi.
