英领事署旧址 Yīng Lǐngshìshǔ Jiùzhǐ

The consulate was abandoned about 30 years later when a campaign of civil resistance compelled the British to leave. Today the former consulate is a museum. There is a stone monument outside the building, which commemorates the return of the hill to Chinese sovereignty.
