About this place

Things to Do
- Eat your way through Miaokou Night Market — Sample stinky tofu, oyster omelet, pot‑edged pancake soup, and bubble ice. Leave room for a “nutritious sandwich” loaded with frybread, mayo, and sausage.
- Try fresh seafood on Heping Island — This coastal spot offers a more relaxed dining scene with island‑style eats away from the downtown crowds.
- Walk the downtown harbor area — The compact city center is easily covered on foot, letting you soak up the working‑port atmosphere and pop into street‑food stalls as you go.

Planning Tips
- Take the right train — Only board TRA trains clearly marked for Keelung; east‑coast trains branch off at Badu and will take you far off course.
- Use the direct bus for speed — Kuo‑Kuang buses from Taipei Main Station’s East‑West terminal reach Keelung Harbor in about 35 minutes; buy a ticket or tap an EasyCard on and off.
- Check ferry schedules in advance — Passenger routes to Japan, Xiamen, and Matsu can be suspended or infrequent, so verify current timetables before planning sea travel.
