Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

A red-brick castle stands atop the hill, overlooking the mouth of the Tamsui River; red tiles paired with white corridors cast elegant, rounded shadows in the sunlight; pass through the city walls and ascend the century-old fortress. Tamsui Fortress, the Little White House, and the Hobe Fort together create a historic and leisurely town.

Fort San Domingo, standing in Tamsui for over 300 years, is one of the oldest existing buildings in Taiwan and is currently listed as a national historic site. The castle-like main fort, the Western-style consul's residence, and the Qing Dynasty-era south gate all served multiple functions, including military defense, consular offices, and a dungeon. At the plaza in front of Fort San Domingo, besides taking photos at the best vantage points, don't forget to look out over the Tamsui River and Guanyin Mountain. One of the Eight Scenic Spots of Tamsui, "Sunset Glow over the Fortress," is located here; the beauty of the sunset is not to be missed.

The Little White House, formerly the residence of the Qingdanshui Customs Commissioner, has a history of over a century and is named after its striking white Western-style exterior. A must-see at the Little White House is its neatly arranged semi-circular arches. When sunlight shines through, the white building appears even more pristine and elegant. This simple Spanish chalk-style arcade, paired with orange roofs, is dazzling against the blue sky. The arched corridors further enhance the Little White House's romantic ambiance.

Located on a high vantage point, the Hobe Fortress, constructed with sturdy building materials, was a magnificent fortress that served as the best military stronghold for 19th-century warfare and garrisoning, and was also an important coastal defense facility for the modernization of Taiwan during the Qing Dynasty.
