The British Consulate at Takow is a great place to learn about the history of Kaohsiung and Taiwan. It is also a beautiful and peaceful place to relax and enjoy the views. Explore the exhibits: The museum has a variety of exhibits on the history of the British consulate, the British Empire in Taiwan, and life in Kaohsiung in the early 20th century. Climb the scenic staircase: The consulate has a beautiful staircase that winds its way up to the roof. From the top, you can enjoy panoramic views of the harbor and city. Visit the tea room: The consulate has a traditional tea room where you can enjoy a cup of tea and a snack.

There is so much history of the British in Kaohsiung. The site is well maintained, and the entrance ticket is very affordable. The views for the harbor, the NSYSU, and the city are astonishing. Around 2 pounds. It's definitely worth visiting. There are souvenirs stores and tea shops and restaurants for refreshment.

Set on top of a hill that has a beautiful view across the sea and surrounding coastline. The consulate itself isn't too big but is interesting for anyone looking into Taiwan's history. There's a tea shop at the back of the building that you get a discount for when paying to enter the consulate.

Came here on a weekday and there was very little crowd. Entry fees cost NT99 per adult. The building is located on the small hill, expect a short hike up. The sea view on the hill top is nice, managed to take some photos.

This place absolute deserves to be part of any visit plan to Kaohsiung. It was not crowded at all even on a holiday Sunday. The view from the hilltop of the old embassy complex is fantastic. One can see 270 degrees spanning from the main business downtown on the east, Cijin and its lighthouse to the south, and the National Sun Yet Sen University and Shoushan to the west. The second floor cafe serves very reasonable English teas, afternoon tea set and other food. Make sure to get a table in the balcony.
