- 1949, United States Relations With China‎, United States Department of State, page 931:
  The landing of Government troops and subsequent terrorism
  Foreign observers who were at Keelung March 8 state that in mid-afternoon the streets of the city were cleared suddenly by machine gun fire directed at no particular objects or persons. After dark ships docked and discharged the troops for which the Governor apparently had been waiting. Fairly reliable sources estimate that about 2,000 police were landed, followed by about 8,000 troops with light equipment including U.S. Army jeeps. Men and equipment were rushed to Taipei. It is reported that about 3,000 men were landed at Takao simultaneously. Troops were reportedly continuing to arrive on March 17.
- 2019, Huang Chia-lin and Jake Chung, “Descendant of Britain’s first consul visits Taiwan”, in Taipei Times‎:
  A descendant of Robert Swinhoe, the first British consul in what was then known as Formosa, on Thursday visited the British Consulate at Takow (打狗英國領事館) in Kaohsiung, hoping to deepen his understanding of his ancestor.
  Robert Swinhoe was stationed in Taiwan in July 1861 as the first British vice-consul, and he set up the first British Consular Office in Taiwan in Taiwanfu (modern-day Tainan), the Kaohsiung Bureau of Cultural Affairs said.
  Three years later, Britain relocated the vice consulate from Taiwanfu to Takao (modern-day Kaohsiung), after the Port of Kaohsiung was opened.
- 2019, Keoni Everington, “1,500 companies go bankrupt in Kaohsiung under Han's rule”, in Taiwan News‎:
  The Facebook group Takao Good Day (高雄好過日) on Thursday mocked Han's election campaign promise of "10,000 companies gathering" (萬商雲集) as turning out to be "thousands of businesses going bankrupt" (千商倒閉). The Kaohsiung City Government Economic Development Bureau explained that it is following the central government's policy to dissolve companies that are no longer operating.
