Our friend Quad took a trip to the “World’s Largest Hand-Dug Well” and snapped some great pictures. (This is a view from the bottom looking up.)

When the well was completed in 1888, it was 109 feet deep and 32 feet in diameter. It served as the city’s water supply until 1932. The well was covered and opened as a tourist attraction in 1939. Since then, over 3,000,000 people have visited the “Big Well.”
