Wugui Well

Located on Zigiang Street, this water source stands as a stone structure with continuous water supply since its construction in the seventeenth century.

Dutch East India Company workers excavated this well in 1653, serving both maritime vessels and local residents as a primary water collection point.

The name originates from the African workers who built it, as local residents had never encountered people with dark skin before their arrival.

During the Japanese administration, authorities sealed and buried the well due to safety concerns following multiple incidents of accidental falls.

Archaeological works in 1955 led to the rediscovery and restoration of the well, which now stands as a Municipality Level Historic Site.
