2025 Keelung Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Located near Keelung Station, "Warm Twilight Sweet Kitchen" is a reservation-only gastropub situated on the second floor. The entrance is quite small and easy to miss, but stepping inside feels like entering another world. The gastropub is operated by a single person, requiring reservations and a deposit in advance. It is recommended for those who are not in a rush to enjoy their meal. Seating is limited, divided into a bar area and table seating. The dining environment is spacious, comfortable, and relaxing. Recommended dishes: 🌟 Scottish Soft-Boiled Egg: A soft-boiled egg wrapped in minced meat and deep-fried, blending the aroma of egg and meat for a mouthwatering treat! 🌟 Stir-Fried Okra with Pork Belly: Highly recommended! The flavor is rich with a hint of spiciness, making it a perfect pairing with alcohol. 🌟 Assorted Fried Snacks: Includes fried squid, cheese sticks, and French fries. Exceptionally crispy, with the squid being particularly flavorful and juicy. 🌟 Meat Sauce and Cheese Fried Rice Ball: Rich in flavor and incredibly filling. The minimum spend per person starts at 350 TWD. The menu is limited, and the waiting time for dishes is approximately 15 minutes. It's an ideal spot for a casual gathering with friends over drinks.

I finally have the chance to check in at Wanzhuhao! When it comes to Keelung coffee shops, everyone always recommends this one. This time I specially chose to come here on a weekday at noon, and I loved it as soon as I arrived. The high-ceilinged space and mottled cement walls of the converted old house are unpretentious yet full of flavor. This time I ordered the raw milk roll, which was really amazing. Not to mention the delicious tangerines, the raw milk roll cake is extremely soft, and when you dig into the raw milk part in the middle, you can smell the very rich tea aroma. A little cake, a little raw milk sauce, and a little homemade caramel walnut chips. The taste is crispy, loose, and smooth, which is really amazing while eating. I also ordered a cup of pineapple iced American coffee. The ratio of pineapple sauce to American coffee is just right. They don’t steal the show. It’s refreshing and memorable. I love it! Now I finally understand why it is always hard to get a seat on holidays. If you have the chance to come to Keelung, this place really must be put on your itinerary! 🔰 Wanzhu Pineapple Ice Americano $170 🔰 Strong Tea Small Orange Raw Milk Roll $220 / 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 / ✅ Wanzhuhao 📍 Address: No. 560, Zhongzheng Road, Zhongzheng District, Keelung City ⏰ Opening hours: 11:00-19:00 #NaWhereToGo #WanZhuHao #KeelungCaféRecommendation #KeelungDessert #ChiffonCakeControl #CaféDaily #KeelungCafé

This one-day trip to Keelung was absolutely fulfilling—Peace Island is truly worth visiting! From Keelung Train Station, take Bus 101 for about 20 minutes, and you'll arrive directly at Peace Island Geopark. However, I personally recommend wandering around the Keelung Harbor area first—take some photos of the harbor scenery or grab some snacks before heading out! Before entering Peace Island, make sure to purchase your tickets online. Not only does it save time, but you can also sign up for the early bird guided tour, where a professional guide explains everything on-site. It's super interesting, and the rock formations are incredibly photogenic—some resemble tofu, others look like turtles. You'll want to snap photos of them all! The park's route is well-planned, with clear signs along the way. There's even a pavilion in the middle of the park, and I highly recommend taking a break there. Feel the sea breeze and listen to the sound of the waves—it's incredibly soothing! You might not want to leave! As you continue walking, you'll reach a water play area. Be sure to wear non-slip shoes to enjoy splashing around and wading in the water—it’s so refreshing! And don’t worry if you get wet; there are foot-washing and shower facilities here. Plus, there’s a shop nearby where you can buy ice pops. Playing in the water and then enjoying an ice pop—life doesn’t get better than this! Afterward, take the same bus back to Keelung and make sure to visit Miaokou Night Market for dinner! Seafood soup, tempura, butter crab, and the famous nutritious sandwich—everything looks so tempting. It’s the perfect way to end the day! Highly recommended for those who love nature and relaxed itineraries. This is the ideal spot for enjoying the sea breeze, taking beautiful photos, and recharging your energy. Next time, I’d love to bring friends along for the nighttime guided tour to see what Peace Island looks like after dark!

This time, I visited the Keelung Art Museum to see Japanese artist Yuichi Hirako's first large-scale solo exhibition in Taiwan, "Beyond Ideal Landscapes." Inspired by the mountain and sea landscapes of Keelung, the exhibition is divided into three main themes: "Town," "Mountains," and "Ocean," creating a dreamy and spiritual artistic journey. The works are based on the perspective that all things have spirits, featuring tree characters with foliage on their heads and dressed in various outfits. Combined with immersive exhibition setups and translucent mesh visual designs, visitors feel as if they are stepping into a flowing landscape painting. The three-dimensional installations of mountains, oceans, and adorable little tree characters complement each other, making the experience incredibly charming. Visiting Keelung is not just about enjoying the sea; you might also stumble upon a poetic and fantastical exhibition.

🔻Location Green Wenwen Travel boasts an excellent location, just a minute's walk from Keelung Night Market. This is a significant advantage for travelers who enjoy night markets. 🔻Facilities and Services This is an unmanned hotel. After checking in, guests need to contact the operator to confirm their details, after which they will receive the door and room codes. The service process is convenient, but it is important to contact the operator in advance. ➿ Lobby: The first-floor lobby has a comfortable seating area and offers snacks, tea, and coffee, allowing guests to relax and enjoy their time. Room Facilities: The rooms are equipped with bidet toilets and feature a separate wet and dry bathroom design, providing a convenient and comfortable bathing experience. Additionally, the rooms offer snacks and capsule coffee, enhancing the convenience and comfort of the stay. ➿ Internet Connection: The rooms only have 4G signal for mobile phones, but stable Wi-Fi is provided, and the internet connection performs well. 🔻Check-in Experience ➿ During the initial check-in, the room code could not be entered correctly, but after contacting the operator, the issue was quickly resolved with their assistance. 🔻Disadvantages ➿ Soundproofing Issues: As the hotel is a renovated old building, the soundproofing is poor. When someone walks in the stairwell, the noise is very noticeable. Additionally, there is a church next door, and if you stay during the weekend, you may hear church singing in the morning, which could affect the quality of your rest. 🔻Summary Green Wenwen Travel excels in location, facilities, and services, making it suitable for short-term stays. Although there are some soundproofing issues, especially on weekend mornings, if you don't mind these minor flaws, the overall cost-performance ratio is still very high.

Buddha Hand Cave, located near Xian Dong Yan in Keelung, is a unique rock formation rarely seen in Taiwan. Upon entering the cave and looking up carefully, you will find a natural rock formation on the cave ceiling that closely resembles a 'Buddha's hand,' as if sculpted by nature itself, adding a mysterious atmosphere. The cave is not large, and it takes about 15-20 minutes to walk through. The ground is wet and slippery, so it is recommended to wear non-slip or waterproof shoes to avoid slipping. Although the cave is small, standing inside, you can feel the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature. Quietly admiring the Buddha's hand above, you can truly appreciate the diversity and wonder of Taiwan's landscapes. 📍 Location: Buddha Hand Cave, Keelung (near Xian Dong Yan, just a bit further ahead)

Keelung Tower, standing tall in Zhongzheng Park, is one of the key landmarks of this port city. On a sunny afternoon, I decided to visit this tower to find the perfect viewpoint where history and scenery of Keelung intertwine. As I entered Zhongzheng Park, a refreshing sea breeze greeted me, accompanied by the sounds of birds chirping and visitors laughing. The winding path leading to Keelung Tower is flanked by dense forests, lush and vibrant, making one feel at ease. Occasionally looking up, I could see the white silhouette of the tower top peeking through the treetops, carrying a serene call. Upon reaching the top of the tower, the view instantly broadened. The picturesque scenery of Keelung Harbor unfolded before my eyes, with ships docked in the harbor, bustling piers, and the distant blue sea and sky complementing each other. The sea breeze gently brushed by, carrying a moist salty taste, allowing one to feel the soul of this port city. Turning around, the cityscape of Keelung, with its layered buildings and distant green mountains, formed a harmonious urban painting. Standing at the top of the tower, I seemed to hear the sound of waves hitting the harbor and the bustling rhythm of this city day and night. This tower is not only a viewing platform but also a symbol closely connected to the history and culture of Keelung. It has witnessed the changes of the city and carries the expectations of countless visitors for the future. As the sun gradually set, the lights of Keelung Harbor lit up one after another, transitioning the harbor from the hustle and bustle of the day to the tranquility of the night. Keelung Tower, under the glow of the sunset and lights, appeared particularly tall and serene. As I left the top of the tower, I looked back at the city once more, feeling a sense of awe: Keelung Tower is not only a place to overlook beautiful scenery but also a spiritual beacon that evokes reflection and reverence.

Heping Island is located in Keelung City. 🏝️ I recommend going around 4 pm. The sun is beautiful, the atmosphere is nice, the rocks are strangely shaped but very beautiful.

🌟 Far East Lai's Pan-Fried Bun｜TWD12 It's said that there's a queue as soon as it opens. Each pan-fried bun costs only 12 TWD, which is super cheap🤩. The biggest difference between this and a Sheng Jian Bao is the filling. Sheng Jian Bao is mainly filled with meat, while the pan-fried bun is mainly filled with vegetables. I chose the cabbage and meat filling. It's as big as a fist, crispy on the bottom, and quite juicy inside, but overall a bit oily. 📍 Far East Lai's Pan-Fried Bun No. 91, Zhong 3rd Road, Ren'ai District, Keelung City 🌟 Wu Ji Noodle House｜TWD160 When in Keelung, you must try the seafood! This place is famous for its oyster rice bowl, with plump and delicious oysters🤤. I tried the mixed rice bowl, which includes shrimp, oysters, egg, and braised pork rice. The oysters were delicious, and I also tried the Keelung macaron, which is somewhat like sausage casing wrapped around egg tofu, quite unique. 📍 Wu Ji Noodle House No. 21-2, Ai 3rd Road, Ren'ai District, Keelung City 🌟 Shisheng One-Bite Sausage｜TWD8 A must-try at Keelung Miaokou Night Market is the one-bite sausage. You can buy them one by one. They have a super fragrant charcoal-grilled flavor, are very juicy with not much fat. The lady there taught me the golden ratio: one sausage with half a clove of garlic. You must add garlic😆. 📍 One-Bite Sausage No. 43-1, Miaokou Night Market, Keelung City

In addition to its delicious food, Keelung also offers many must-buy souvenirs. Here are two highly recommended stores where many locals line up to buy. 🌟 Lian Zhen Pastry Shop | TWD55 Everyone comes here to buy the Taro Balls 😍 A box of 4 costs 55 TWD. They are quite heavy, filled entirely with taro paste, and not too sweet. Note that they should not be kept at room temperature for too long, so consume them as soon as possible. Personally, I find them just okay 🙈 📍 Lian Zhen Pastry Shop No. 42, Ai 2nd Road, Ren'ai District, Keelung City 🌟 Li Hu Pastry Shop | TWD45 A century-old shop in Keelung, known for its curry puffs, mung bean cakes, salted egg yolk pastries, and pineapple cakes. The traditional and simple packaging allows you to buy them individually. Many locals buy them by the box. 📍 Li Hu Pastry Shop No. 90, Ren 3rd Road, Keelung City, Taiwan

Let's explore outside of Taipei with a one-day trip to Keelung 🏝️🏔️ 💞Reasons to recommend: It's a city with unique and beautiful natural scenery, plenty of cool photo spots, and a relaxed local vibe. 🗓️Travel planning: A 1-day trip starting early from Taipei by bus or train, spending a full day in Keelung is just right. 🏖️Environment/Facilities: It's a seaside city with bus access to all attractions. 📍Location: Keelung

Although it's called a night market, it actually opens at 12 PM, and more vendors start operating after 5 PM, continuing until midnight! The transportation is extremely convenient. You can get off at Keelung Train Station and walk for ten minutes to reach the market 🤩. From Ai 2nd Road to Ai 3rd Road on Ren 3rd Road, there are numerous food stalls. In just a short distance of 300-400 meters, nearly 200 stalls are gathered. I highly recommend the bite-sized sausages 🤤. You must pair them with a clove of garlic. The small sausages can be bought individually, are super juicy, and have a nice charcoal flavor, all at a reasonable price. For souvenirs, I choose Jin Xing Ma Lao, which is made with granular peanuts. It has a great texture and comes in many flavors.

#TravelCoolExperience #Beach #PhotographyGuide #SuperFunThemePark The Rainbow House at Zhengbin Fishing Port is located in the south of Heping Island. It was built by the Japanese government during the Japanese colonial period as the largest fishing port in Keelung. Recently, due to the construction of a deep-water wharf, it has become a hot spot for taking photos and checking in for a nostalgic wharf style project. It is also a pleasure to take a trip to appreciate the sunset.
