Department Introduction

The “British Consulate at Takow” lies in Sizihwan, an area in Gushan District, Kaohsiung City. The British Consulate at Takow covers the consulate residence on the hill, consulate office at the hillside, and an old mountain trail. It is the only Consulate for which both the consulate residence and office are maintained in Taiwan. The Ministry of Culture announced it to be a National Cultural Heritage in 2019. The government reconstructed the old style of the British Consulate in 1879. To improve the visiting quality and create an outstanding tourism environment for visitors, an exhibition with the backstory as well as the scene of wax figures are presented in a fun way at the British Consulate at Takow. Walking in the Consulate will make you feel like stepping back in time. Professional tour guides are also there for visitors. They will lead visitors to learn more about the construction history of the Takow Port and its special cultural meaning for the history development of sea trading in the world. Moreover, it combines the historical scene of Shao-Chuan-Tou and expands the range of the British Consulate to the port. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the bank with the open sea view of the spectacular Takow Port.
