Keelung Islet is an uninhabited island also known as Keelung Island. It was called Jilong Islet in ancient times. It is administratively under Zhongzheng District, Keelung City. It is located in the East China Sea off the northeast coast of Keelung. It is the most distinctive natural island landmark of Keelung and the northern coastal area of northern Taiwan. It is also a landmark for ships from various countries sailing in and out of Keelung Port, accompanying Keelung's sunrise and sunset day and night. The straight-line distance between Keelung Island and Heping Island is about 3.3 kilometers, and the distance to Keelung Port is about 4 kilometers.
Keelung Island Pier was hit by Typhoon Soulik in 2013. The Keelung City Government completed repairs in August 2014. Unfortunately, in October of the same year, it was affected by the outer circulation of the typhoon, causing the pier to break and many wave-breaking blocks to block the waterway. For safety reasons, the pier had to be closed and landing on the island was prohibited. Thanks to the Keelung City Government for obtaining repair funds from the central government in 2017, the relevant project is about to be completed.
In order to allow more tourists to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Keelung Island, this beautiful volcanic island, not only by taking a boat from the sea, but also by climbing onto Keelung Island and exploring the island along the wooden boardwalk, they can climb up to admire the precious igneous rock geological landscape in the pavilion, and closely observe the island's native plants displaying the beauty of natural ecology on both sides of the trail. The scenery on the island changes depending on the viewing position on land, and its multiple beauties are revealed due to climate change. When the weather is clear, the majesty of the volcanic island can be seen, and the vague Keelung Island at sunrise and dusk appears even more mysterious. In spring, when flowers bloom, wild lilies cover Keelung Island. From September to October, the mountains are covered with golden amaryllis, which is the most beautiful focus of the island. It is well worth a natural ecological tour for tourists.
