Hang Li Poh's Well, located at the foot of Bukit Cina, is a historic water well constructed in the 15th century for Princess Hang Li Poh, who was sent from China to marry the Sultan of Malacca. The well is one of the oldest in Malaysia and is said to have never dried up, even during droughts. Today, it is a popular tourist attraction set within a small garden, where visitors can see the well's stone structure and learn about the romantic legend behind it. The site offers a glimpse into Malacca's multicultural history and the enduring ties between China and Malaysia.
