About this experience
Join us for an unforgettable day tour in Kaohsiung, where you'll uncover the rich history and breathtaking scenery at the British Consulate of Dagou. Nestled on the picturesque shores of Xizi Bay, this stunning site offers a unique glimpse into the past, where the vibrant blue of the sea meets the sky. Originally known as Dagou, a name derived from the local Pingpu language meaning 'bamboo forest', the area was renamed Kaohsiung by the Japanese, who found the original name unsuitable. Today, you can explore the beautifully preserved consulate, which features a striking post-Renaissance Baroque design, complete with red brick facades and elegant stone carvings.
As you wander through the grounds, you'll discover the official residence perched atop the hill, offering a panoramic view of the bay. The first floor houses a cultural shop, a charming courtyard, and a viewing platform perfect for capturing the stunning sunset. Don't miss the exhibition room on the second floor, where interactive displays and historical maps bring to life over a century of Kaohsiung's maritime history. This immersive experience will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the city's heritage and its transformation over time.
