After leaving the Doggy Railway Story Hall, we went to rent a battery car for a tour of Xiziwan and to the British Consulate for Doggy. The British Consulate of Dogging is on a hill in Xiziwan, climbing a small mountain road. Because of the high terrain, there will be a good view. Unfortunately, we did not arrive before sunset. It was already dark when we went up. We missed the beautiful sunset and the best perspective overlooking Xiziwan. It's a pity. When I bought the tickets, the red brick two-storey house came into view, with white latticed windows, brick-red walls, roundabout corridors and green lawns. It should be more beautiful in the daytime under the sunshine. Inside, one exhibition room shows the documents and materials of Taiwan in the past hundred years, including the historical materials of Taiwan's modern foreign relations, the background of human, historical and geographical data of the development of the Dagou area, and the cultural relics of the construction of the British Consulate, which are very rich in content. In the museum, wax figures of officials meeting at that time were also displayed, which was very lifelike. Along the sign, there are also steps outside to the viewing platform, mountain climbing road. At the door of the first floor, there are several wax figures showing the daily communication between British officials and the people. It's interesting, but unfortunately I missed the beauty of the day.

    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.

    Transportation: MRT Xiziwan Station gets off (20 NT) and takes a minibus (15 NT) to the back door of the scenic spot, climbing a small section of mountain road is the real consulate, after visiting another way down the hill from the front door, do not go back. Ticket: NT$99. Drinks in it can be used for 30 front door stamps and free bus rides on the same day. Feeling: There are not many humanistic things here, but it's really a good place for sightseeing. Looking down at the beautiful Xiziwan Bay in the elegant antique buildings, it's so pleasant to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky in a line of sunset while blowing the sea breeze. Unfortunately, I didn't arrange my time well for it to come in the morning. Food: Rose milk tea is recommended. There is a consular wife's British afternoon tea double set at NT$599. Limited supply feels great.

    The best thing about the dog consulate is in the middle of the mountain, you can see the panoramic view of Xizi Bay, and the photos are very beautiful. The afternoon tea in the rose garden is really good value. Although there is an additional service fee, it is still worth it. The rose-flavored ice cream is amazing, and the drink is also. After drinking the rose water, there is a rose smell in the mouth. After visiting, you can go to the service desk to knock on the chapter, so that the bus on the day can be taken for free, very user-friendly service. Personally feel that you don't need to take a taxi to play the dog. The MRT is very convenient for Xiziwan Terminal. Whether it is Exit 1 or Exit 2, there is a bus out of the station, which can be reached directly, which is very convenient. Orange 1 or 99 can be reached, and there are few people, almost enjoy the treatment of chartered cars
