Baisha Well, Ancient water well in Changsha, China

The Baisha Well is an ancient water source in Changsha built with granite stone and surrounded by a protective wall around its circular opening. The structure displays original construction methods and remains in use today.

The well was built in early times to meet water needs of growing Changsha. It survived various phases of urban development and remained an important water supply point across many generations.

The well represents a traditional water source deeply rooted in local history and daily life. Visitors can observe how the simple, functional design reflects the practical needs of past communities.

The site is accessible year-round and offers good visibility of the historic structure. The surrounding park provides informative displays about the well's construction and water system for visitors.

Water from the well flows directly into a modern pool called Run Xing Pool, which blends the historic water function with contemporary design. This system demonstrates how old and new elements coexist in the space.
