Unraveling Kaohsiung's History at the British Consulate at Takow

Constructed in 1865, the British Consulate at Takow ⭐served as the official residence of British consuls for nearly a century.

As you wander through the consulate's exhibits, you'll uncover the intricate history of Kaohsiung's role in international trade and diplomacy. Learn about the city's transformation from a small fishing village into a thriving port, and discover the stories of the people who shaped its development.

Step outside the consulate and into its tranquil gardens, where you can relax amidst lush greenery and enjoy the panoramic views of both Kaohsiung Harbor and Sizihwan Bay.

On a balmy spring day, May 5, 2023, I set out to explore the British Consulate at Takow, embarking from the foothill. After immersing myself in the consulate's captivating exhibits, I began my ascent up the stairs leading to the exquisitely preserved colonial-era building perched atop the hill.

After roaming through the building and gardens, I decided to indulge in a delightful English afternoon tea in the consulate's dining room area. With its elegant décor and panoramic views of the harbor, the dining room provided the perfect setting for a leisurely afternoon treat.
