The Jinshi archway in Fengjian Village, in Guangdong, China is a three-tier memorial archway. It commemorates the 13 Jinshi scholars from the village. The archway is in the style of the Song dynasty and was one of the four major wooden archways in Guangdong. It is located in front of the Juji bridge (Chinese: 巨济桥). The height is about 16.8 meters. The bottom is supported by 12 concrete columns. It is also called the Enrong Archway (Chinese: 恩荣牌楼). It was originally built in 1533 CE but it was demolished during the Cultural Revolution. It was rebuilt in 2015 and inaugurated on October 1, 2015, at the launching ceremony of the 2015 Shunde Water Village Folk Culture Festival.[1][2]
