Xuguo's stone paifang, Memorial paifang in She County, China.

Xuguo's stone paifang is a memorial gateway in She County decorated with detailed carvings across its entire surface. The structure combines traditional Chinese architectural elements in a gate-like form that serves both as entrance and monument.

Xu Guo, a Grand Secretary of the Wuying Hall, had this paifang built in 1584, the twelfth year of the Wanli reign, in his home town of She County. It was listed as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level in 1988.

The structure functions as an entrance decorated with Chinese artistic symbols and craft traditions visible in its carved surface. Visitors can observe the symbolic motifs and handwork that shaped the stone over generations.

Local transportation connects Huangshan city to She County where the paifang is located, with regular bus services throughout the day. The site is accessible on foot year-round, though early morning and late afternoon hours tend to be less crowded.

The stone is not granite but green tea-garden stone (青色茶园石), a hard local rock; single blocks weigh four to five tonnes. Twelve lions sit on the bases, four at the front, four at the back and two on each side, each carved with a different pose.
