The scenery of Xiziwan in Kaohsiung is beautiful and magnificent. The British Consulate for Dogging was built on a hill in Xiziwan. It was founded in 1866 at the end of the Qing Dynasty. It was the first consulate officially built by foreigners in Taiwan in the Qing Dynasty. Dog beating is a transliteration of Taiwanese Aboriginal languages, representing a place name, meaning that the British Consulate is in the place of Dog beating. The "Doggy British Consulate" next to Xiziwan is a small two-storey building with white latticed windows, brick-red walls, roundabout corridors, green lawns, colorful paintings and elegant English style. Here we can feel the historical features of Kaohsiung for more than one hundred years. Who understands Taiwan's history is a good example.

    The British Consulate Cultural Park is a historical and cultural park located in Gushan District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. The monuments are composed of consulates, consular residences and an ancient mountaineering road. The consulate is located at the sentry bow pier on the north bank of the mouth of Kaohsiung Port (Qingdao Dog Port). It was an important stronghold of the British government in the Qing Dynasty in the management of consular business. It is also one of the oldest existing Western-style buildings in Taiwan.

    Transportation: MRT Xiziwan Station gets off (20 NT) and takes a minibus (15 NT) to the back door of the scenic spot, climbing a small section of mountain road is the real consulate, after visiting another way down the hill from the front door, do not go back. Ticket: NT$99. Drinks in it can be used for 30 front door stamps and free bus rides on the same day. Feeling: There are not many humanistic things here, but it's really a good place for sightseeing. Looking down at the beautiful Xiziwan Bay in the elegant antique buildings, it's so pleasant to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky in a line of sunset while blowing the sea breeze. Unfortunately, I didn't arrange my time well for it to come in the morning. Food: Rose milk tea is recommended. There is a consular wife's British afternoon tea double set at NT$599. Limited supply feels great.

    The best thing about the dog consulate is in the middle of the mountain, you can see the panoramic view of Xizi Bay, and the photos are very beautiful. The afternoon tea in the rose garden is really good value. Although there is an additional service fee, it is still worth it. The rose-flavored ice cream is amazing, and the drink is also. After drinking the rose water, there is a rose smell in the mouth. After visiting, you can go to the service desk to knock on the chapter, so that the bus on the day can be taken for free, very user-friendly service. Personally feel that you don't need to take a taxi to play the dog. The MRT is very convenient for Xiziwan Terminal. Whether it is Exit 1 or Exit 2, there is a bus out of the station, which can be reached directly, which is very convenient. Orange 1 or 99 can be reached, and there are few people, almost enjoy the treatment of chartered cars
