The mystery of the ancient well rumored to be where the sacred dragon is kept

Located at the northeast corner of the Beixinqiao intersection, Beijing, China, the ancient well named Toa Long is known to many people for its many curious mysteries.

First, there is a large iron chain tied to the wall of Toa Long well . Some people say they heard a terrifying roar coming from the bottom of the well. If someone pulls the chain up, a stream of black water will spurt out of the well.

More mysteriously, the locals passed on a legend about a dragon imprisoned in the Toa Long well . The long chain on the well wall was used to chain this monster.

According to legend, in 1421, the Yongle Emperor moved the capital from Nanjing to Beiping (now Beijing). During the move, the Yongle Emperor repeatedly encountered obstacles when constructions were struck by lightning, caught fire, or damaged a few days later.

Therefore, many officials under the reign of Emperor Yongle persuaded the king not to move the capital. Some rumors even said that Emperor Yongle had disturbed a dragon guarding the treasure in Beiping, so it "became furious" and caused a great flood.

The Ming Chengzu invited Yao Guangxiao to deal with this dragon. This was a genius who was well-versed in the three religions and was known as the incarnation of the “Dragon Subduing Arhat”.

With extraordinary talent, Yao Guangxiao subdued the dragon and "sealed" it under a well and tied it with chains. That well was the Toa Long well.

Before the legends about Toa Long well, scientists used modern tools and techniques to examine this place. Accordingly, they discovered that the well was connected to an underground river.

The eerie sound that some people heard and thought was the dragon's growling was actually the sound created by friction between the chain and the well wall.

Despite examining the bottom of the well, experts found no dragons or monsters.
