Yanshui Octagonal Building, Historic octagonal structure in Yanshuei District, Taiwan.
The wooden construction features eight symmetrical sides and incorporates traditional Chinese architectural elements, including imported Chinese Fir wood and bricks from mainland China.
Built in 1841 by the Ye family who gained wealth through the sugar industry, the building later served as a residence for Prince Fushimi Sadanaru after the Sino-Japanese War.
The structure represents the fusion of Chinese building techniques with local Taiwanese craftsmanship through its design, materials, and construction methods.
The building welcomes visitors every day from 8:00 to 17:00, with guided tours available through the local information center at +886-6-6522202.
A stone marker in the courtyard documents the building's connection to Prince Fushimi Sadanaru, marking its role during the Japanese colonial period.
