Standing tall for over three hundred years in Tamsui, the Red Hair Fort is characterized by its striking crimson exterior wall. The park area features buildings from the Dutch era, the Qing dynasty, and the Japanese occupation, making it one of the oldest surviving architectural structures in Taiwan. The earliest construction of the fort dates back to 1628, when the Spanish, who ruled northern Taiwan, built the "Fort San Domingo". However, Fort San Domingo was later destroyed, and in 1644, the Dutch rebuilt it near the original site, naming it "Fort Antonio". At that time, the Chinese referred to the Dutch as "red hair", and thus, the fort came to be known as the "Red Hair Fort". In 1724, Wang Jun, the magistrate of Tamsui, began to renovate the Red Hair Fort and added four outer gates. After 1867, the Red Hair Fort was leased by the British government and used as a consulate, with the construction of a consulate residence nearby. Having experienced the rule of the Dutch, Ming Zheng, Qing dynasty, and the British, American, and Australian governments, its history is a living testament to Taiwan's past. The Red Hair Fort historic site, which opened to the public in 1984, includes the castle-like main fort, the Western-style consulate residence, and the southern gate of the Qing-era city gate; its architecture simultaneously serves multiple functions, including military defense, consular office, and dungeon. Walking along the arched corridor to the front plaza of the Red Hair Fort and looking out at the Tamsui River and Guanyin Mountain, one can see the "Twilight at the Frontier Fortress", one of the "Eight Views of Tamsui", with the breathtaking beauty of the sunset not to be missed.
