Hang Li Poh Well

Hang Li Poh Well (Perigi Raja)

Built in 1459 by the followers of Hang Li Poh who is a Chinese princess who married the Sultan of Malacca. The well supposedly never dried up during days of old and was the only source of water supply during great droughts.

According to history, the well was poisoned in 1511 to rid the place of enemies before being closed in 1677 by the Dutch. Well, it seems that it is now a wishing well...




As with other tourists, we came, we snapped and we left! hehee....
