It is the first gateway of Mt. Emei. The front-- “World Famous Mountain” were written by the famous literati Guo Moruo in 1959; and the back--“Buddhist Sacred Land” were written by Zhao Puchu, the former president of the Buddhist Association of China. The simple and elegant memorial archway, 17.8 m high and 22.2 m wide with four columns and three spans, and decorated with cornices and upswept angles, is an archaizing building of Ming and Qing Dynasties style.
