The British Consulate At Takao
No. 20 LianHai Road, Gushan District, , Gushan, TaiwanThe British Consular Residence at Takow was built on the hill of Shaochuantou. This stand-alone red-brick building with wooden veranda was used as a venue for receiving diplomatic envoys and guests, as well as being the consul's residence. In 1900, it was reconstructed with an arched veranda. During the Japanese colonial period, it was converted into the Kaohsiung Marine Observatory. In the early period after the National Government took over Taiwan, it was converted again as a meteorological observatory. In 1977, Typhoon Thelma devastated the building. In 1985, a restoration project was initiated. In 1987, it was publicly proclaimed a historic site. In 2004, the Bureau of Cultural Affairs repurposed and reutilized this historic site, and it became a famous cultural tourist attraction in Kaohsiung City.1 hour • Admission Ticket Not IncludedView Location2

Cijin Island
Haian Rd., Qijin Dist., , Qijin, TaiwanCijin Lighthouse , after the signing of Convention of Peking in 1860 during the Qing Dynasty rule, the Takau Harbor was opened to foreign traders in 1863. With increasing commercial shipping activities and a lack of a proper ship navigation system, the British engineers built a Chinese-style rectangular red-brick lighthouse at the top of Mount Ki-au, at the southern side of the harbor.
During the Japanese rule, in line with the expansion of the harbor, the lighthouse was rebuilt in 1916 as part of the project. It underwent renovation in 1918 to what it looks like today. The base of the lighthouse building was rebuilt in Baroque style.
In 1985, the lighthouse was designated a Historical Building and subsequently opened to the public.30 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location4

After the Japanese expedition in 1874, the Qing authorities constructed a modern fort, which in 1880 had new Armstrong's guns installed. It played no part in the Sino-French War; the fighting in Taiwan took place around Keelung and during blockade French ships did not approach the port.
During the Japanese era the fort was not used.
