This archway interacts with the surrounding environment to create a sundial of this era as it inspires multiple cultural images, such as Two Dragons Frolicking with a Pearl, harmony and ideal, and the full moon over the Pearl River.

The archway is 45 meters wide, and memorializes the 45th anniversary of Reform and Opening Up.

The main gate is 6 meters high, and it symbolizes the fact that Tianhe District was created for the 6th National Games of China. 

The highest point is 15 meters, and this represents the tireless efforts made to host the 15th National Games.The archway resembles a hovering dragon from afar, with patterns of bougainvillea on the side and DNA-shaped light strips which suggest dragon scales, like a sparkling river of stars.

The top is decorated with lanterns of dragon boat racing and lion dancing, and its figures in light and shadow convey the spirit of the times to strive to be a champion.

The words on the octagonal pillar bring forth blessings and inspiration for the start of this New Year.
