Old British Consulate

Near the old Canon Battery of Kaohsiung, a beautiful cafe attracts so many people in spite of its inconvenient location.

One who want to enjoy a British "afternoon tea" with rich cake have to ride byke or car to the harbor and climb up many steps. If it's weekend or holiday, one must wait for long while.

The building should be rebuilt as it was. It's so nice and clean. Inspite that it's a cultural property by government, a contract let someone get business and collect big money.

Nevertherless, visitors including lovers and family seem to enjoy with feeling of Western style itself as well as tea and cake on high hill beside seashore.

Except simple dungeon beneath the floor, whole structure is using as big restaurant. Nice scenery and building encourage visiors to pay not so cheap money for menu and buy small souveniors without hesitating.

"Takao," which means "beat dogs," was the old name of the place, but many people are willing to come with their dogs as other places in Taiwan. No dogs are beaten there.
