What people are saying:
The "Dagou" in "Dagou British Consulate" is a transliteration of the language of the aboriginals of Taiwan. It actually represents a place name. It means that the British consulate is in the place of "Dagou". I personally feel that it is worth visiting. History.

Additional Information
Introduction
The British Consulate is located in the sea and sky of the West Bay. The entire British Consulate is divided into two parts, the Hill Residence and the Yamashita Consulate. The official residence on the hill is a Baroque architecture in the post-Renaissance era. The appearance of red bricks, bamboo downpipes, stone carvings and arches reflect the differences between the British consulates. The first floor of the bureaucracy includes a small shop, a viewing platform and a courtyard. Standing on the viewing platform, you can see the process of the sunset. There is an exhibition room on the second floor. The model and the old map are used to make visitors feel the rich story of Kaohsiung opening for more than 100 years.

The "Dagou" in "Dagou British Consulate" is a transliteration of the language of the aboriginals of Taiwan. It actually represents a place name. It means that the British consulate is in the place of "Dagou". I personally feel that it is worth visiting. History.
The British Consulate in Tagou was the first consulate built by foreigners in the Qing Dynasty in Taiwan. It faces the Taiwan Strait to the west and overlooks the city and port of Kaohsiung. "Dagou" is a transliteration of the language of Taiwan's aboriginal residents. It represents a place name. It means that the British consulate in "Dagou" does not mean the slightest insult. A small two-story building with white lattice windows, brick-red walls, and a wide corridor with green lawns, it is full of British style. Now it has become an open-air cafe with a very romantic atmosphere. It is an excellent place for Kaohsiung people to relax. Enjoy the beautiful scenery while enjoying the "Consul's Lady Afternoon Tea".
A historical witness, a must-see attraction in Kaohsiung, Taiwan
A small building, built on the top of the mountain, overlooking Kaohsiung Harbor, British architecture, it feels ordinary, a small two-story building with white lattice windows, brick-red walls, and a spacious long corridor. With green lawns, colorful oil paintings, and beautiful sculptures, the elegant British style makes people intoxicated.
The small western-style building made of red bricks is the symbol of the consulate and occupies a superb view above the hill. The tune of its own idol drama also attracts lovers to pilgrimage. The architectural style is very similar to those foreign buildings on Gulangyu Island in Xiamen. Here you can enjoy the beautiful view of Xizi Bay and the panoramic view of Kaohsiung Harbor.
