Tsai Nien-heng Residence

July 19th, 2025

Outside Cai Nianheng Residence (清水蔡年亨故居) — The old residence from the street. It is still occupied as of 2026.

A modest Japanese colonial era residence in central Qingshui. Tsai Nien-heng (蔡年亨, 1889–1944) was a local businessman and politician who served as the mayor of Qingshui beginning in 1933. He descended from the Tsai Chuan-cheng (蔡泉成) trading house, one of the two main branches of the town’s prominent Tsai family alongside Tsai Yuan-shun (蔡源順). He was devoted to the cause of Taiwanese self-determination, serving as a director of the Taiwan Cultural Association (臺灣文化協會) and head of the Qingshui branch of the Taiwanese People’s Party (臺灣民眾黨), but passed away from illness in 1944. Nowadays the house remains a private residence but it is surprisingly well-maintained. In 2018 the roofing tile was replaced, and as of 2026 the house appears to be in good condition. Additionally, there are some old wooden outbuildings to the right side of the property with an uncertain connection to the main house.
