Consulate: A Coffee Shop near the Former British Consulate

Consulate
  淡水領事館咖啡

Consulate is a coffee shop 
near the former British Consulate 
in Tamsui.
  






Dining on the balcony 
of the coffee shop, 
you may have a great view of 
the Tamsui River 
while listening to 
the roar of the tidal waves.



As the sun goes down, 
the lights from the houses 
along the other side of the river 
shine bright like the stars in the sky.
