Step into the oldest historical building in Northern Taiwan at Fort San Domingo in Tamsui, Taipei.

This historical site, with over 400 years of history, has witnessed the colonial transitions of Taiwan from the Dutch, Spanish, to British rule. The red walls of the fort look especially beautiful against the blue sky, making it one of the must-visit spots in Tamsui.✨ Fort San Domingo is mainly divided into two buildings: the red castle built by the Spanish, which was later painted red by the Dutch (hence the name Fort San Domingo); and the white mansion next to it, which served as the British Consulate. From the top of the castle, you can enjoy stunning views of the Tamsui River and Guanyin Mountain, making it a great spot for photography. 📸 The museum houses numerous historical artifacts and photographs, providing insights into Tamsui's early trade history. It's particularly interesting to see the office and living quarters of the consuls from that era, giving visitors a sense of stepping back in time. This place is truly a fantastic photography spot, whether you're capturing architecture, portraits, or landscapes, you can achieve different styles. It's a perfect place to visit on weekends to soak in the historical atmosphere and take beautiful photos!
