- Attraction Introduction -
- Keelung Islet (Keelung Island)
Keelung Islet, also known as Keelung Yi, was one of the 'Eight Views of Keelung' during the Japanese colonial period, referred to as 'The Peak of Yi Rising in Green.' Located just 5 kilometers from Keelung, it is one of the four volcanic islands off the coast of Keelung, along with Mianhua Islet, Pengjia Islet, and Huaping Islet. This small island, 960 meters long, 400 meters wide, and reaching an elevation of about 182 meters at its highest point, is the most prominent landmark off the coast of Keelung due to its sharp, protruding shape. Formed by an undersea volcanic eruption, the island itself is a block of 'igneous rock' solidified from magma meeting seawater. Constant erosion by waves and sea winds has created unique cliff-side coastal landscapes. The island is surrounded by steep cliffs, numerous sea caves, and reefs, earning it the reputation of a volcanic geological park. The scenery of Keelung Islet changes depending on the viewing angle from the mainland; some say it resembles a whale, others a rhinoceros, and it displays multiple aesthetic charms as the weather changes. On clear days, the grandeur of the volcanic island is visible, while at dawn and dusk, its faint silhouette appears mysterious and ethereal. Due to Keelung's rainy environment and rock weathering, the vegetation is quite rich, consisting mostly of banyan trees, along with wild lilies, golden spider lilies, stonecrop, privet, Peucedanum japonicum, Selaginella tamariscina, and hibiscus. The Keelung City Government is gradually restoring the lilies. May and June are the lily season, while August and September are the golden spider lily season, attracting many tourists each year.
- Keelung Islet Lighthouse
At the top of Keelung Islet stands the Keelung Islet Lighthouse. Its correct name is actually the 'Keelung Island' Lighthouse. It was originally built in 1980 to compensate for the insufficient range of the Yehliu and Bitou Cape lighthouses. The tower is 12.3 meters high, with a light height of 189.3 meters (the second highest in Taiwan) and a range of 13.8 nautical miles. It is an octagonal tower made of reinforced concrete with vertical black and white stripes. It was the first lighthouse in Taiwan to use solar power. There is also a 'Monument to the Martyrdom of Private Kusuda' left over from the Japanese colonial period, commemorating soldiers who died during construction. To promote tourism, the Keelung City Government has built a hiking trail, which takes about an hour round trip.
- Elephant Trunk Rock
Due to long-term erosion by the northeast monsoon and crashing waves, the unique landscape of Shen'ao Elephant Trunk Rock was formed. Viewed from the side, it looks like an elephant with a long trunk standing on a cliff headland, making one marvel at the craftsmanship of nature. You can walk to Elephant Trunk Rock from the sandstone coast next to Shen'ao Fishing Port. Along the way, there are many mushroom-shaped rocks and honeycomb stones scattered across the coast, showcasing the beauty of strange rocks everywhere. The sea arch, carved over a long period, looks just like a long elephant trunk reaching into the water, forming a unique giant beast landscape.
- Badouzi Fishing Port (Bisha Fishing Port)
Bisha Fishing Port is a newly developed fishing port in Keelung and a famous tourist fish market. Two long buildings house the 'Fish Market' and the 'Food Street' respectively. The fish market features many fresh seafood shops offering a variety of fresh catches, while the food street is neatly planned like the Miaokou Night Market. Visitors can order dishes at the seafood shops or purchase seafood and have it cooked by the vendors. Bisha Fishing Port is a port that the government is actively developing for maritime tourism, with a future focus on leisure and tourism. In addition to tasting various freshly caught seafood, visitors can also take a sightseeing yacht to enjoy the maritime scenery of Keelung.
