It is the first hand drilled well with a depth of over 1000 m in the world, and also the best-protected well-salt production site of the Qing Dynasty. The major structure of the well contains mills, crane rooms and kitchens. Mill frames, derricks (crown blocks) and cranes are the main production tools at the well.
