On May 20th, 2005, the former “Copper Well” in Prince’s Palace was found at the north entrance of the water space, it is said that the “Copper Well” used to supply drinking water specifically for the Pingxi Prince. The wall of the Well was built with grey bricks by imperial orders under a special baking process and the golden yellow coating on the surface is still clearly visible. According to the analysis of historical data, the yellow coating might be copper paint, which would explain the name of “Copper Well”. The depth of the Well is 7.2 meters and the depth of the water is 3.19m. The well water is cool, crystal and sweet and can be drunk directly from the Well.
