▲ Zhengbin Fishing Port Colorful Houses

This historic fishing port in Keelung was established by the Japanese in 1934. During the Japanese colonial period, it was Taiwan's largest port and a thriving fishing trade port, a major contributor to Keelung's early prosperity. Now, the Keelung City Government has transformed it into a popular holiday destination and a landmark attraction.

▲ Agena Shipyard

Constructed during the Japanese colonial period, it served as the terminus for various railway branch lines, collecting gold and other minerals from Jinguashi for shipment to Japan. After the end of the colonial period, it was leased to Agena Shipyard, an American company specializing in yacht construction. Although now abandoned, the site still bears this name. Its exposed steel and concrete create a modern, decadent aesthetic, making it a popular photo spot. Even Hollywood star Chris Evans, who starred in the film "Captain America," has visited it for commercials.

▲Heping Island Park
Heping Island is located at the northern end of Keelung Harbor, east of the harbor, and is now connected to the mainland of Taiwan. Due to the constant impact of the northeast monsoon and the erosion of the waves, Heping Island's unique natural landscape is a result. Furthermore, the island's submerged coastline has resulted in numerous unusual rocks and unusual shorelines. Due to this unique landscape, the government has designated Heping Island Coastal Park. It comprises three main areas: a swimming pool, a unique rock formation, and a visitor center. Heping Island Park minimizes artificial structures to minimize damage to nature, cultivating this beautiful natural treasure with a commitment to preserving the natural ecosystem. It serves as a scenic natural learning center and a uniquely beautiful coastal secret in northern Taiwan.

▲Mom's Soup
A mother's kindness and grace are like water, a soup called "Mother's Soup." A mother's love is supreme, like water, and her cooking is a perpetual source of nostalgia for her children. In Keelung's Bin Ting, a mother's home cooking technique is used to prepare dishes, blending local flavors and a mother's love to serve you this bowl of soup, both ordinary and extraordinary.

▲ Pakistani Kitchen
A bond spanning over 5,000 kilometers was forged online. After countless hardships, Ali and his wife were reunited in Taiwan. Desiring to share his mother-in-law's delicious curry with their friends, they opened Pakistani Kitchen with their help. The small, 20-square-meter shop is always crowded with customers, who find it easy to savor the most pristine beauty of food and find the most nourishing food without burdening the body.

In 2020, Pakistani Kitchen received the first Halal certification in Keelung City and has since hosted Muslim groups from many countries. Ali and his wife are able to perfectly accommodate Muslim etiquette and the dining habits of international visitors. Their small, 20-square-meter shop has long been equipped to handle international customer service. Keelung residents love to bring their foreign friends and relatives from other counties to Pakistani Kitchen to enjoy the delicious food, comfortable environment, and service.

▲Keelung Fortress Headquarters
The Keelung Fortress Headquarters was a key military base in northern Taiwan during the Japanese colonial era. Established by the Japanese army in Dashawan in 1896 as the "Keelung Fortress Command Post," it was renamed the "Keelung Fortress Headquarters" in 1909 and served as the highest military command center in northern Taiwan during the Japanese colonial era. In 1957, the "Keelung Fortress Headquarters" was disbanded and officially passed into history. In May 2010, it was designated a Keelung City Historic Site.

In October 2018, the Keelung City Cultural Affairs Bureau initiated the restoration and reuse of the Keelung Fortress Headquarters, a municipal historic site, under the "Greater Keelung Historical Scene Reconstruction and Integration Project." Construction began in April 2020. The project includes the main buildings of the Fortress Headquarters and the Guangfu Barracks (formerly the Coast Guard Administration's barracks). With this, the military fortress was lifted from martial law and transformed into a cultural fortress.
