    "The British Consulate Cultural Park is a historical and cultural park located in Gushan District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. The monuments are composed of consulates, consular residences and an ancient mountaineering road. The consulate is located at the sentry bow pier on the north bank of the mouth of Kaohsiung Port (Qingdao Dog Port). It was an important stronghold of the British government in the Qing Dynasty in the management of consular business. It is also one of the oldest existing Western-style buildings in Taiwan."
    Kaohsiung.Siziwan
    >100km from Taipei
    Highlights: The British Consulate of Tagou is located on the Xiziwan, where the sea and the sky are the same. Later, because the Japanese thought the place name "Dagou" was indecent, it was changed to "Kaohsiung". The entire British consulate in Dagou is divided into two parts, the official residence on the mountain and the consulate under the mountain. The official residence on the hill is a post-Renaissance Baroque building. The red brick exterior, bamboo downspouts, stone carvings and round arches all reflect the differences of the British Consulate in Dagou. The first floor of the official residence includes a cultural and creative shop, a viewing platform and a courtyard. Standing on the viewing platform, you can see the process of sunset at a glance. There is an exhibition room on the second floor. Models, old maps, cultural relics, videos, old photos, and historical data research are interlaced in a multi-line way to let tourists experience the opening of Kaohsiung for more than 100 years. Rich story.

The old street homestay avoids the turbulent crowds. It is a good choice to stay in Jiufen for one night. Many homestays are built along the slope, and they are high and far-reaching. At night, when the tourists disperse, the old street is suddenly quiet, and only a few lights are left, as if time has frozen. It is very wonderful to enjoy this quiet alone.
