Prince Zheng Ai Landing Memorial Marker Introduction
Located in a small alley next to the 嘉應廟 (Jiaying Temple) in Budai Township, there stands a monument inscribed by Taiwan Governor-General田健治郎 (Tian Jianzhilang) that reads "Monument to His Imperial Highness Prince Chichibu’s Landing in Taiwan." The original monument was erected to commemorate the landing of Prince Chichibu's Imperial Guards during the 1895乙未戰爭 (Yiwei War) in Budai. After World War II, the monument was demolished by the principal of a local school and discarded beside a wall. Later, a landowner named Cai used it as the foundation for a building, after which various unsettling events began to occur in the vicinity. Ultimately, the descendants of the Cai family decided to excavate the monument from the old house, conduct traditional rites, and re-erect the new "Monument to His Imperial Highness Prince Chichibu’s Landing," which was officially designated as a historical building by the Chiayi County Government in 2008.
