Shuanglongjing

Shuanglongjing is a cultural relic protection unit of Lianyungang City.

Shuanglongjing is located on the west side of Shuanglong Bridge, south of Xingfu Road, Quyang Subdistrict, Haizhou District. It was originally built during the Jingtai era of the Ming Dynasty (1450–1456). The Haizhou District People's Government renovated it in October 1964 and restored it again in October 1980. Shuanglongjing is also known as Pinquan. There used to be a Pinquan Pavilion to the south of the well. The mouth of Shuanglongjing is shackle-shaped, stone-built, with a diameter of 2 meters and a depth of 3 meters. It earned its name because there are two stone-carved dragon heads on the east and west walls inside the well, from whose mouths the water flows. To the west of the well stands a stone stele from the third year of the Guangxu reign, inscribed with the three characters “Shuanglongjing” (双龙井). In 1993, it was designated as part of the second batch of cultural relic protection units in Lianyungang City. The well holds certain value for studying the municipal facilities and local customs of Haizhou’s ancient city area during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
