The story of Pearl Tower originated from Tongli, Wujiang, Suzhou. Fang Qing, the protagonist of the story, saw her aunt, Cui E gave it to Ta, and the historical fact that Wang Dao married a daughter went back to ancient times in Tongli. Therefore, Tongli set up this scenic spot and called it "Pearl Tower".

Only a part of the remains of Chen Cuie's book building remain in the whole scenic spot. Tongli Town began to invest more than 20 million yuan to restore this scenic spot, and the well-known eternal swan song will spread in Tongli and flow to the distance. ...

In ancient times, Chenjia archway was located between Guanfu Bridge and Yong 'an Bridge in the north of Tongli Town. In the eighth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1580), after Chen Wangdao's death, the court awarded it in recognition of his integrity and outstanding achievements.

The arch is as big as three walls and stands on the ground with four square pillars with a diameter of feet. Above the archway, there is a nanmu structure, and the cornices on the square are upturned. The middle forehead is engraved with the words "Qing Fu Imperial Court", and the lower forehead is engraved with the words: "Daming Wanli is Nanjing Road Supervisor, Chenwang Road Lane".

Many wooden frames are also carved with lifelike birds and beasts. Behind the archway is Chen Wangdao's former residence, which contains Chen Family Temple, Fu and Chen Bookstore. There is also a pair of big green stone lions in front of the archway, which is very majestic.
