Donglin East Well

The "Donglin East Well" in the Donglin settlement of Lieyu Township was dug in 1204 (the 4th year of Jiatai reign during Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty) and built by Lin Yanzhi of the Song Dynasty. With a history of over 800 years, it is the largest ancient well in Kinmen and features a unique construction method. By 2004, due to rural reconstruction, steps and granite flooring were laid around the ancient well, and a stainless steel protective frame and transparent glass were added above it. It has been designated as a county historical monument.
