No sweet without sweat. The flight of steps may seem torturous but the scenery at the peak of the hill is breathtaking! There are also a few food stalls at the top and the ice cream that was selling like hot cakes was especially appealing to the hot and panting tourists. A stick of refreshing ice cream to kick start the visit to the British consulate! The admission fee costs NT$30. Among the existing western style buildings in Taiwan, it provides an excellent example of technique and style and that possesses the value of historical architecture study and conservation value. The building brick and mortar used all continue using the traditional method of Fujian and Taiwan. Some parts are even filled with clay and soil, while wooden truss is built with complete western style. It is the portrayal illustration of modern Chinese and Western cultural communication, and also the first formal consulate built by foreigners in Taiwan. One should definitely go there during the evening to see and enjoy the sunset of Sichuan(Bay) and harbor view of Kaohsiung. The view is spectacular and this place is surely worth a visit to!
