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 Jianjiao Temple in Budai Township, there stands a monument inscribed by Taiwan Governor-General Tian Jian-zhi to commemorate the landing of His Imperial Highness Prince Kitashirakawa Yoshihisa in Taiwan. The original monument was erected to commemorate the landing of Prince Kitashirakawa Yoshihisa, who led the Imperial Guard Division to Budai in 1895 during the First Sino-Japanese War. After World War II, the monument was toppled by the principal of a local school and discarded near a wall. It was later used as a foundation for a house by a local landlord with the surname Tsai. Subsequently, a series of unsettling incidents began to occur in the vicinity. Eventually, the descendants of the Tsai family decided to excavate the monument from the old house, conduct ancient rituals for worship, and re-erect the new "Commemorative Monument for His Imperial Highness Prince Kitashirakawa's Landing," which was announced as a historical building by the Chiayi County Government in 2008.
