The Tamsui Customs Officers' Residence (traditional Chinese: 前清淡水關稅務司官邸; simplified Chinese: 前清淡水关税务司官邸; pinyin: Qiánqīng Dànshuǐ Guān Shuìwù Sī Guāndǐ) is a historical residence in Tamsui District, New Taipei, Taiwan.
After Taiwan was forced to open foreign trade in early 1860s, foreigners soon came into the island.[1] Qing Dynasty government soon established a customs office in Tamsui in 1870 after the opening of Tamsui Port.[2]
