Located in front of the flat sea temple. In the 21st year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1682), Shi Lang was ordered to recover Taiwan Province and led an army to station in Pinghaiwei, Putian. When there was a drought and water shortage, he found an abandoned well in front of Tianhou Palace, which was more than ten feet away from the sea. "It was salty and bitter." Shi Lang prayed to Mazu, sent someone to dig the well several feet deep, and the fresh water was inexhaustible. Shi Lang personally inscribed the monument of "Shiquan" on the edge of the well, and carved "The Story of Shiquan Well" to praise Mazu’s kindness, which has been well preserved so far.
