Fenchuang Lane Official Well

The well curb is made of bluestone, in a waist-drum shape, slightly weathered, with minor damage to the rim. The inner diameter at the top is 35 cm, the outer diameter 56 cm, the belly diameter 64 cm, and the height 37 cm. There are lock holes on both the northern and southern sides, and on the western-facing belly is carved “The 20th Year of the Republic of China – Fenchuang Lane Official Well.” The well walls are built with blue bricks, and the well is about 5 meters deep. Two stone steles from the Qianlong period are embedded in the southern wall of the well, but unfortunately, their inscriptions have become blurred and heavily weathered. This well has been preserved to this day, with sturdy decorative features and abundant water flow, and is currently used as a domestic water source by local residents.
