Traditional marble & granite paifang archways — temple gates, village memorials & garden arches, hand-carved in Quyang and shipped worldwide.
No element of Chinese stone architecture makes a stronger statement than the paifang. Quyang carvers have built archways for imperial shrines for centuries, and we now export the same craftsmanship — from intimate garden gates to monumental ceremonial arches for Chinatowns, temples, and cultural parks abroad.
Traditional engineering from the county that carved China's imperial architecture.
Mortise-and-tenon block construction — the same method used in ancient temple archways, engineered for modern safety.
Dougong brackets, dragon & cloud beams, calligraphy plaques — reproduced faithfully from your reference or our classic designs.
Numbered blocks, assembly drawings, and optional technician supervision for installation anywhere in the world.
One partner handles design, carving, export documents and freight — ideal for overseas Chinatown and temple projects.
A paifang (牌坊) is a traditional Chinese memorial archway — a gated structure with columns, beams and tiered roofs, carved from marble or granite. They mark temple entrances, villages, ancestral halls, parks and commercial districts, and are symbols of honor, prestige and welcome.
We carve archways from compact 3-meter garden gates to full ceremonial 15m+ multi-bay structures with three or five openings. Each archway is engineered block-by-block with traditional mortise-and-tenon joints, designed for safe assembly on site.
Yes. Send photos, drawings, or a reference archway and our carvers will reproduce the proportions, carvings and inscriptions. We produce a 3D or elevation drawing for approval before carving begins.
Archways are shipped as numbered blocks in reinforced crates. We provide a detailed assembly drawing and numbered layout, and can send a technician to supervise installation at your site (visa and travel costs quoted separately).
A standard 6–8m marble archway typically takes 45–90 days depending on carving density. Pricing is based on size, stone type and decoration level — request a quote with your dimensions and we reply within 24 hours.
