Walking with the City, Listening to Its Stories

local cultural walks

Keelung For A Walk is a local cultural initiative based in Keelung.

For over ten years, we have been guiding people through the city on foot—connecting everyday places, local stories, and shared memory.

Our work began with walking tours through Keelung’s old town, and gradually grew into broader cultural and community-based projects.

Why We Guide

We believe a city is best understood on foot.

Walking allows time for observation, conversation, and attention to daily life.

Rather than focusing on landmarks, we guide people through streets, markets, and neighborhoods—where stories naturally emerge from how people live, work, and remember.

  • Cultural documentation and long-term community projects

Our Team

DSCF3844 scaled

We are a small team of Keelung-based youth and cultural workers, many of whom have grown up and worked in the city for years.

Working across guiding, research, and community projects, our practice grows from long-term relationships with neighborhoods, shops, and local partners.

The Living Museum

Our work is guided by the idea of the Living Museum. 

As we walked the same streets again and again, we realized how quickly local memories and everyday histories were disappearing.

Inspired by the concept of the ecomuseum, we see Keelung as a museum without walls—spread across streets, harbors, markets, temples, and everyday spaces.

Through walking routes, audio guides, exhibitions, and memory projects, we help keep the city’s cultural memory visible and shared.

Some of our cultural work is supported by community spaces in Keelung.
