What makes this visit meaningful
An old well traditionally associated with Fr. James Zhou Wen-mo’s clandestine ministry and his use of the water for baptism before his 1801 martyrdom.
01
Clandestine baptism tradition
The official route presents the well as a tradition connected with Fr. Zhou’s hidden ministry.
02
Careful evidence language
The association is devotional and historical tradition, not a claim that the surviving well can prove individual baptisms.
