Perched on a hill overlooking Kaohsiung Harbor, the Former British Consulate at Takao is a restored Victorian-era building that now serves as a museum. Visitors can stroll through rooms furnished with period pieces and learn about Taiwan's role in 19th-century trade. The real draw, however, is the outdoor terrace, which provides sweeping vistas of the harbor and the city skyline. The site also includes a café where you can enjoy tea while taking in the scenery.
