Shiping ancient city

brief introduction

It is said that Shiping County is built on a big turtle shell floating on the water. If the turtle shell is chiseled through, it is the water layer. As a result, the residents of the city dug wells one foot below the northwest city and three or five feet below the southeast city. After drilling, the water source was inexhaustible. The water wells in the city are interlinked with each other. The bucket left by the owner will be found in the west well in a few days. It is said that the five deep wells in the East, West, South, North and middle of the county are the five foundation pillars that lock the turtle to the sea. Today, there are all five wells. For 600 years, the water from five wells has been the natural brine spring water for making Shiping tofu. The tofu made with it is delicious, so Shiping tofu is famous.
