Dear all, do you really understand that there is nothing wrong with this name?

"The British Consulate at Dagou", where "Dagou" is a transliteration of the language of Taiwan's indigenous residents, representing a place name, meaning that the British Consulate is in "Dagou", and there is no insult at all. "Dagou" is the earliest name of Kaohsiung. In the early days of Japanese rule, the Japanese thought that the place name "Dagou" was not elegant, so they changed the place name to "Kaohsiung", because the Japanese pronunciation of "Kaohsiung" is "taka-o", which is similar to the sound of "Dagou". ⛰【Attraction Guide】 📍Detailed address: Gushan District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan 🚗Transportation Guide: 1. Take the MRT to Xiziwan Station Exit 1, then transfer to Bus Orange 1, City Bus 99, and get off at Xiziwan Station. 2.
