Zhulian Village Well

A 19th century octagonal well behind Zhulian Temple, thought to be the one recorded in a Qing dynasty gazetteer as serving the garrison once stationed here. Its water was so well regarded that the Zheng family of the north gate insisted on it for preparing opium during the Japanese colonial era, earning it the nickname of the opium well (鴉片井). It ran dry when the railway began pumping groundwater nearby, after which a tap was fitted at the wellhead, and it was designated a heritage site in 2016 and is protected from development.
