The Zhen Concubine Well was the place where the Zhen Concubine of Emperor Guangxu was drowned.

Zhen Concubine means Brilliant Concubine. Emperor Guangxu's most favored lady was very talented and intelligent. She encouraged the Emperor to endorse political reform to strengthen his country. Unfortunately, the reform was later suppressed by Empress Dowager Cixi because it contradicted with her interests. Cixi constantly

prosecuted Zhen Concubine and had her jailed. In 1900, after the Eight Foreign Allies invaded Beijing, the Dowager before fleeing the capital with the emperor ordered the eunuchs to throw the concubine into the well. The well was given the name of Zhen Concubine Well.
