Hang Li Poh's Well

This well, found at the foot of Bukit China, dates back to 1459 and was constructed by the followers of Princess Hang Li Poh. The well was enclosed with stout walls by the Dutch in 1677 after they conquered Malacca. The well itself, in days of old, was the main source of water for much of the town and has never dried up even during droughts. Today, the well has been converted into a wishing well and it is widely believed that anyone who throws a coin into the well is destined one day to return to Malacca!
