英國領事館(二級古蹟) The British Consulate at Takao


It's 2nd class historical site in 1865 and first western style building in Taiwan. The style of this building belongs to late Renaissance era and the series of semicircular arches perform proportion and rhythm in this building.

With more and more city travel promotions for some other Asia countries by Kaohsiung government, we found only Chinese, Japanese, English directions but Korean.
