The Four-eyed Well is a historic well built during the Ming Dynasty, notable for its four separate openings that allowed multiple people to draw water simultaneously. This design prevented quarrels and improved efficiency. Located in a quiet corner of Magong, the well is a simple yet evocative relic of daily life centuries ago. Visitors can peer into the dark water and imagine the bustle of women gathering here. It's a small but meaningful stop for those interested in local history.
