Located in Yaling Village, 8 kilometers southwest of Tangyin, an inscription on a stele erected beside the well in the 11th year of the Daoguang reign (1831) during the Qing Dynasty states: This well was dug by Liao Chunyang, the founding ancestor, between the late Song and early Yuan dynasties (1246–1279), and was originally named Yu Yun Well. It was later renamed Yu Quan Well by Zhang Bocong. The gravel at the bottom of the well is translucent and shiny, and the spring water is clear and deliciously sweet. It can be used by one person without overflowing, by many people without running dry, and those who drink from it enjoy long life. When scooped in a bowl, the water appears slightly raised above the rim, a phenomenon quite different from other springs.
