It is a mere laterite stone-lined well but what interesting about it is the legend surrounding it. It was said to be dug by none other than the famed admiral Hang Tuah.
It is difficult to verify the truth but the Malaccan government has spent to build a proper shed with some boards with Hang Tuah's story. A cultural centre in the form of a traditional Malay palace was built not far from the well.

There are some shops within the vicinity of the well. I find that these shops sells the souvenirs cheaper than elsewhere in Melaka. I always go for the one above (up the slopes).
Next to the shop, there is a place where u can have a quick meal. Place is clean and tidy. I ate Nasi Goreng Kampung (Kampung fried rice) and although it taste authentic Kampung styled, its was unbearably spicy for my tastebuds. Do inform the auntie who takes orders to lessen the chilli on ur dish if it contains any.
The well has been there ever since a loooong time ago. I dont know how true to legend so i cant comment on that, unfortunately.

The story of the ultimate Malacca warrior, Hang Tuah, is the stuff of legends. Faithfully serving Sultan Mansur back in the 15th century, this infamous historical figure had an exemplary record of achievements, which include successfully warding off advances from Siam and Acheh, and a winning duel with Taming Sari, a warrior from the court of Majapahit.
Born in Pulau Bentam, Sumatra, Hang Tuah was brought up in Kampong Duyong just 5 kilometers away along with his four good friends, Hang Jebat, Hang Kasturi, Hang Lekir and Hang Lekiu, who were also warriors in the Sultan’s court. Being the Sultan’s favourite, Hang Tuah’s loyalty and determination to the Sultan is unquestionable.
The Hang Tuah well is located in the town of his birthplace, Kampung Duyung. According to folklore, the great man himself had dug the well for his own personal use. After he had passed away, it is said that the well has become the dwelling of his spirit, which took on the form of a white crocodile. It is also believed that the albino crocodile cannot be seen by just anyone; only the holy and the pure-hearted ever get the opportunity to catch a glimpse of it.
Another mystical aspect to the Hang Tuah well is that its water remains clear even after all these years, which is said to never dry up, even during long periods of drought. The locals believe that the well’s water contains special healing properties, able to cure all sorts of ailments. It was also said that the well used to be much smaller in size originally, and that it had grown over time.
