Things to see and do Keelung 基隆

A small peninsula to the north-east of the town, the Badouzi park is certainly the best place to observe the ocean and the island of Heping, in a superb natural setting where the hills flow into the sea. It's almost like the Irish coast! On your left, facing the ocean, you will notice an imposing hydroelectric plant. Further behind the factory, the road that runs along the coast is absolutely beautiful, and leads you to a small and very pleasant beach.

A small island south-east of the port, now connected by two bridges, which stands out because of the shape of the rocks that sit on top of it. There is also a small fortress covered by vegetation (fun photos guaranteed), a small aboriginal museum, and a fish market run by the fishermen themselves (hard to find fresher). You can walk there on foot, but it's easier if you have a motorized vehicle. On your left, facing the ocean, the coast that goes to Jiufen (which can be seen clearly) is very pleasant, with several small fishing villages.

Dominating the city and port, it contains a 25 m statue with the effigy of the Buddhist goddess of the mercy Guanyin and the Chu Pu Tan Temple. You can get there free (or make a donation for the temple), to admire the view. Inside, a super kitsch, but unfortunately difficult to see anything through the tiny windows! We can see the whole city from the terrace, right in front of it. Most tourists have access to it on foot, the least courageous will take bus 201.
