6 minute Sketch: View of Kaohsiung from Former British Consulate at Takao 6分鐘速寫: 從前英國領事館在高雄的看法

We walked from downtown Kaohsiung to the site of the former British consulate at Takao. Although the hill where the site is perched upon is not very high, you can get a good view of Kaohsiung City and watch ships come in and out of the harbour, in addition to ferrying passengers back and forth to Cijin District 旗津區. This is a good location to take a rest, enjoy afternoon tea (but it comes with a price), and learn a bit about Robert Swinhoe who served here as Consul General and was also a well-known naturalist with many species named after him. Our 6 minute sketch of the view above. We really focused on the shape of 85 Sky Tower as it dominates the middle of the sketch.
