- Itinerary Introduction -

Keelung Islet, also known as Keelung Island or historically as Jilong Islet, is an uninhabited island located in the East China Sea, northeast of Keelung. Administratively part of the Zhongzheng District of Keelung City, it is the most prominent natural island landmark in northern Taiwan and the Keelung/North Coast region. It serves as a navigational guide for ships entering and leaving Keelung Port and is a constant companion to the sunrises and sunsets of Keelung. The straight-line distance between Keelung Islet and Heping Island is approximately 3.3 kilometers, and it is about 4 kilometers from Keelung Port.

The Keelung Islet pier was damaged by Typhoon Soulik in 2013. Although the Keelung City Government completed repairs in August 2014, the pier was damaged again in October of the same year due to the outer circulation of another typhoon, causing tetrapods to block the channel. For safety reasons, the pier was closed, and landing was prohibited. Thanks to the Keelung City Government's efforts in securing repair funding from the central government in 2017, the relevant construction is nearing completion.

To allow more visitors to experience the beauty of this volcanic island beyond just viewing it from the sea, visitors can now land on Keelung Islet and explore via the wooden boardwalks. You can climb to the pavilions to admire the precious igneous rock geological formations and observe the natural beauty of the island's native plants along the trails at close range. The scenery of the island changes depending on your viewing position on land and displays diverse beauty under different weather conditions. On sunny days, you can witness the grandeur of the volcanic island, while at sunrise and sunset, the hazy silhouette of Keelung Islet appears even more mysterious. During the blooming season in spring, wild lilies cover the island, and around September to October, golden spider lilies bloom across the mountains, making them the most beautiful highlights of the island. It is truly a destination worth visiting for a natural ecological tour.
