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 next to the Jhiayi Temple in Budai Township, there stands a monument inscribed by Governor-General of Taiwan Tan Kenjiro commemorating the landing of Prince Takamatsu in Taiwan. The original monument was erected to commemorate the event when Prince Takamatsu led the Imperial Guard Division to land at Budaiwei during the 1895 Eimhete War. After World War II, the monument was pulled down by the principal of a local school and discarded by the wall. Later, it was used as a foundation by a local landlord with the surname Cai. Following this, there were disturbances in the vicinity, and ultimately, the descendants of the Cai family decided to excavate the monument from the old house, perform rituals according to ancient traditions, and re-erect it as the new "Monument to His Royal Highness Prince Takamatsu's Landing," which was announced as a historical building by the Chiayi County Government in 2008.

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.
