Keelung City
The Story of Keelung
Keelung City is a port city in the northeastern part of Taiwan. The city was ruled by the Spanish in the early 17th century before being handed over to the Dutch, then taken over by The Qing Empire. During The Japanese Era, the Japanese took over and Keelung was elevated to a city. After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to China in 1945, the city was eventually established as a city of Taiwan.
The Charming Port City Of Taiwan
Just a stone's throw away from Taipei, Keelung is the perfect place for anyone looking for a memorable getaway. The city's iconic harbour extends deep into the city center, creating a unique blend of land and water. Get lost on a relaxing stroll along endless rows of old school shophouses, or visit beautiful surrounding islands like Keelung Island, Penjia Island and Mianhua Island.
A Subtropical Climate
In Keelung, summers get very hot and winters are cool and windy. It is typically wet all year round, so it's always good to bring along an umbrella. Heavy rains often occur in autumn and winter, and the best time of year to visit Keelung City for warm-weather activities is from early October to late November.
