Prince Kitashirakawa Yoshihisa Memorial Stele

This monument was erected to commemorate Prince Kitashirakawa Yoshihisa, who was stationed at the former Keelung Customs House Imperial Encampment in 1895. It serves not only as a witness to history but also as a unique cultural symbol of Keelung. Tucked away in a quiet corner of the city, it offers a rare sense of peace and solemnity, as if patiently awaiting visitors to uncover stories forgotten by time. The monument's design is understated and simple, displaying a unique rugged beauty through its washed aggregate finish. It stands like a silent sentinel to history. Although the inscription has faded, it retains an inexpressible sense of reverence and nostalgia. The tranquil surroundings, occasionally touched by the gentle breeze from Keelung Port, encourage visitors to slow their pace and quietly absorb the port's charm and the layers of history it holds. Consider visiting nearby historical sites such as Haimen Tiansian (Sea Gate Peril), Shiba Luohan Cave (Eighteen Arhat Cave), and Ershawan Fort. Let the sea breeze guide you through a corridor of history.
