First time in Taiwan?
Why choose Keelung?
Keelung is a close coastal choice when you are staying in Taipei and want geology, harbor views and a night-market dinner in one day. First-time visitors can keep the route legible with Zhengbin, Heping Island and Miaokou; travelers who mainly want to walk can make Badouzi and Wangyou Valley a separate half day.
Best for

Less ideal for
