Keelung, Taiwan: travel guide
Perched on a natural harbour 30 minutes north of Taipei by train, Keelung is Taiwan's rain-soaked port city and temple ghost-festival capital. The neon-lit Miaokou Night Market is one of the island's oldest and most authentic; the hillside military forts offer Pacific panoramas; the Zhengbin Fishing Port's pastel-coloured houses made the city an Instagram destination. A perfect half-day escape from Taipei.
