Who is Princess Babel?

Go south along Dawan Beach in front of Xiadu Beach Hotel. Before you come to the end of the beach, you will find a Wan Ying Temple by the sea, which is called "Princess Babel Temple" by the local people in Kenting. Who is "Princess Babel"? What does it have to do with Kenting? There are different opinions about the origin of Princess Babel. According to Hengchun County Records, it may refer to the Hunters on the American merchant ship Lofa, which was wrecked off the coast of Kenting in the sixth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty. They were killed by the Kameyao tribe (now Sheding Park) when they abandoned the ship and landed. Because only Mrs. Hunt is a woman on the boat, and on her, there is a saying that the Dutch princess was killed, so there will be a portrait of Princess Lotus in the temple of Babel, and some Kenting people call Princess Babel Princess Red-haired. In short, it is impossible to find out the nationality and true identity of this princess. 1934 According to the local legend of the times, Princess Babel appeared, expressed her dream to a fisherman, and built a temple for her locally. Now 198 1 The rebuilt Princess Babel Temple looks like a "trinity" temple, with the main seat dedicated to Wan Yinggong. The legend of Princess Babel enriches the humanistic legend of Kenting, which makes us understand that Kenting was actually a place to contact with the international community more than 100 years ago. "Three in one" is very popular in many places in Kenting, such as snorkeling, banana boats and yachts, which may be the inspiration.
