Prince Ching's Landing Monument Introduction
Located in a small alley in front of the Jiaying Temple in Budai Township, there stands a monument inscribed by Taiwanese Governor-General田健治郎 that reads "His Imperial Highness Prince Yoshihisa's Memorial for Landing in Taiwan." The original monument was erected to commemorate the landing of Prince Yoshihisa and his Imperial Guard Division in Budai during the First Sino-Japanese War in 1895. After World War II, the monument was toppled by the local school principal and discarded by the wall. Later, a landlord with the surname Cai used it as the foundation for a house, and disturbances began to occur in the vicinity. Eventually, the descendants of the Cai family decided to excavate the monument from the old house, conduct a traditional ritual, and re-erect the new "Prince Yoshihisa's Memorial for Landing" that is currently seen. In 2008, it was officially announced as a historical site by the Chiayi County Government.
