Tangyue Memorial Archway Village is located north of Tunxi and has the only Woman's Ancestral Temple in China built by a man to honor his sister. Very important for a feudal society that held women in very low status.

Exactly what makes the arches of Tangyue Village so unusual are two facts. Each and every one  had to be personally approved by the Emperor before building to honor individuals, and they are the biggest existing and best preserved complex of arches in Anhui Province.
