貞愛親王殿下御上陸紀念碑,就位於布袋543故事館旁

Located in a small alley in front of the Jiaying Temple in Budai Township, there stands a monument inscribed by Governor-General of Taiwan Tan Kenjirō, titled "Memorial Monument of His Imperial Highness Prince Sada Gorei's Landing in Taiwan." The original monument was erected to commemorate the landing of Prince Sada Gorei and the Imperial Guards Division at Budaiwei during the 1895 Biyue War. After World War II, the monument was pulled down by the principal of a local school and discarded by the wall, later being used as a foundation for a house by a landlord with the surname Tsai. Subsequently, unrest began to occur in the vicinity, leading the descendants of the Tsai family to decide to excavate the monument from the old house and perform traditional rites to re-erect the new "Memorial Monument of His Imperial Highness Prince Sada Gorei's Landing," which was officially designated as a historical building by the Chiayi County Government in 2008.

Prince Zheng Ai Memorial Monument Introduction

Located in a small alley in front of the Jia Ying Temple in Budai Township, there stands a monument inscribed by Taiwan Governor-General Tan Kenjirō that commemorates the landing of Prince Yoshida Kurō. The original monument was erected to commemorate the landing of Prince Yoshida Kurō and his Imperial Guard Division at Budai during the Sino-Japanese War in 1895. After World War II, the monument was toppled by the principal of a local school and discarded next to a wall. Later, a local landowner named Tsai used it as a foundation for a building. Following a series of disturbances in the area, Tsai's descendants decided to excavate the monument from their ancestral home, perform ancient rituals, and erect the new "Prince Yoshida's Landing Commemoration Monument," which was announced as a historical building by the Chiayi County Government in 2008.
