Four-Eyed Well Introduction
Central Street, located in Penghu's first street, also known as Penghu Old Street, is at the northern end of the street, commonly referred to as "Top Street." It features the famous Si Yan Well, which has a very long history, dating back to the middle of the Ming Dynasty, over several hundred years ago. This well was originally a large well that provided water for the people in the Magong Central Street area. The well has always had abundant water supply and has never run dry, even throughout multiple severe droughts in Penghu. It continues to provide refreshing and sweet water for the residents of Penghu. According to legend, Central Street in Penghu was originally named Dajing Street, named after this well. Si Yan Well, also known as the Four-Hole Well or Four-Opening Well, is 5.6 meters deep and 1.8 meters wide. To prevent children and adults from accidentally falling into the well, its mouth was raised. To maintain order for water drawing, the well was divided into four directions and covered with well openings. Each well opening has a diameter of exactly 36 cm, positioned in the east, west, south, and north directions, allowing each household to conveniently queue for water. Originally, it was the source of life and drinking water for the residents of Central Street; it has now transformed into a tourist attraction. 【Recommended stay duration】 0.5 hours
