Majian Lane (马监巷) is where an official institution responsible for the administration of horse-related affairs during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) was built.

At the lane's southern end stands an ancient well with a depth of 5 meters, exemplifying the sophisticated construction techniques for underground water systems of the Ming era.
