The Qiaolou was originally in the front yard of the county government for drumming to report changes and to blow the sound of the morning. After the Jinxian Gate was built in the first year of the Ming Dynasty (1621), it was moved to the Jinxian Gate Tower. Therefore, Mentong arrived at the academy, in order to promote the wise men, so it was called "Jinxianmen". Jinxian Gate, which has a history of 380 years, is a landmark building in the ancient city of Jieyang. It is called "Qiaolou Xiaojiao" in the "eight ancient sceneries" of Jieyang. The Jinxian Gate Tower is divided into three floors. The lower floor is the Wengcheng Gate, the middle floor is the city tower, and the upper floor is the glass pavilion. It is surrounded by flower windows and painted columns. It is magnificent and magnificent. It is the crown of the five gates of Rongcheng. In 1937, a road around the city was built, and the city wall was demolished, leaving this gate alone as the gateway to the east. With the continuous expansion of the city, Jinxian Gate has lost the meaning of "gate" and has become a part of the garden in the heart of the street. Qiaolou still exists, but it has become a historical monument. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, due to the continuous increase of the surrounding building floors, nearly one-third of the original city walls were buried underground. In addition, due to the long years of disrepair, the appearance of the entire city tower was seriously damaged, making it difficult to find the charm of the ancient eight scenic spots. In recent decades, many repairs have been carried out to restore the original appearance, planting flowers and trees, and spraying water in the lotus pond to restore the ancient building to its new appearance. And often carry out painting and calligraphy art exhibitions and cultural and entertainment activities upstairs, becoming a place for people to relax. Those who take the entrance examination and tourists mostly regard it as auspicious to walk through this gate, and most tourists wait for the bus here
