The archway was first built in November 1958 and completed in February 1959. It is 12 meters high and 17.5 meters wide, with a span of three doors and four columns, and a basket shaped plinth, imitating the Xieshan style. The whole building is supported by four vermilion columns with three layers of glazed tile. The eaves are decorated with crouching lions, and the eaves are decorated with bright and beautiful patterns. The three characters "Seven Star Rock" written by Zhu Deyuan in February 1959 are inlaid on the top of the middle door, and red cotton trees are planted on the left and right sides to set off the magnificent and solemn.

However, the magnificent and solemn Seven Star Rock archway is just an open area of less than 1300 square meters, which is too crowded after all. Therefore, in September 1984, the relevant departments of Zhaoqing City carried out the first transformation: first, the middle lane and left and right steps under the memorial archway were transformed into a uniform marble platform and steps, and a pair of stone lions were placed under the steps to separate the two sides; second, the shape of the memorial archway was decorated with neon lights, and its pattern was re described; third, the design of the memorial archway was reconstructed from the center of Hunan lake The dike began to arc northward to fill 1400 square meters of the lake, expanding the open space behind the memorial archway to form a 2700 square meter square.
