Ancient Well of Jieshi Mountain

The Ancient Well of Jieshi Mountain is a cultural relic protection unit of Wudi County.

The Ancient Well of Jieshi Mountain is located at the southeastern foot of Jieshi Mountain in Jieshi Mountain Town, Wudi County, Binzhou City. It is believed to have been built during the Ming Dynasty and originally served as a water source for local residents. This well was the only potable water source in the surrounding area, with sweet-tasting water containing over twenty trace elements beneficial to human health—close to mineral water standards, differing by just two trace elements, and can be consumed directly. Locals have raised funds for its maintenance multiple times. Clearly carved on the well wall is the text “Renovated in the 19th Year of the Republic of China,” and the well measures 12 meters from the mouth to the water surface, with a water depth of 2 meters. It never dries up throughout the year, although the water level is lower in spring. In November 2002, it was announced as a county-level cultural relics protection unit by the People’s Government of Wudi County.
