Keelung is a Sea and Land Hub for the Top of Taiwan
Introduction CruisesKeelung City is located at the northernmost tip of Taiwan’s main island. It was later renamed Keelung during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), and when the Nationalists came to Taiwan from mainland China following World War II they made Keelung a provincial city. This port city now boasts an area of 132.76 km2, of which 95% is hilly terrain. Bordered by mountains on three sides and facing out towards the sea, Keelung enjoys an excellent natural harbor with deep water.

The Port of Keelung is renowned throughout Taiwan, and worldwide it is a rare case in which the harbor area of a port city flows into the city’s downtown. Keelung currently has seven administrative divisions (or regions), as well as seven islands off the coast, which are Heping Island (lit. “Peace Island”), Zhongshanzi Islet, Tongpan Islet, Keelung Islet, Pengjia Islet, Mianhua Islet, and Huaping Islet. Heping Island (once known as Sheliao Island), Zhongshanzi Islet, and Tongpan Islet are now all connected by land and commonly collectively referred to as Heping Island. But, the scenery of mountains, sea, rivers, and the harbor will change depending on what area or island you are on, so you can plan a host of different sight-seeing routes.
