Hang Tuah Well.

Located in Kampong Duyong where Hang Tuah spent his childhood among four of his good friends who would later become the famous knights of Melaka. The well is said to be the abode of his soul which takes the apparition of a white crocodile. For a commoner to catch the glimpse of Hang Tuah is hardly likely. It is said that only the holy among us can ever hope to see the apparition.
