Miaokou isn’t the only highlight — head to Keelung to surf the waves, harvest seaweed, and watch eagles at the docks

When lunchtime rolls around, you can head toBisha Fishing Portto stroll and dine. Here, you’ll find a dazzling array of fresh seafood, along with numerous seafood stir-fry restaurants, essentially creating a street dedicated entirely to live seafood delicacies. You can even pick your own seafood and have it cooked for you at nearby restaurants — super convenient. Next to Bisha Fishing Port, there’s also a large recreational green space perfect for family activities. At the other end, the Bisha Ocean Leisure Museum lets you sip coffee while admiring the sea and sky views.

When dinnertime finally arrives, you absolutely must visit Keelung Miaokou for a feast. The bustling alleys filled with various snacks are alive with energy, and the aroma of food wafts through the air. Must-try items include the famousbubble tea ice, butter crab, one-bite sausages, and mudskippers in soup— deliciousness hidden in the everyday. After filling up, take a relaxing evening stroll back to Ocean Plaza. The atmosphere here is completely different from the daytime, with night lights reflecting off the water, creating a serene vibe. Enjoy the beautiful scenery, admire the harbor views, and stay the night at a nearby seaside hotel just a five-minute walk away. You’ll be in the city but can still enjoy ocean views from your room, ending your day to the soothing sounds of the waves.

On the second day, take a more cultural and educational route. Visitors can take a boat from the small boat pier next to Ocean Plaza to visit Keelung Islet, the iconic landmark of Keelung standing proudly in the sea. This is a lesser-known experience for most travelers to Keelung, but to take the sightseeing cruise from the small boat pier, you’ll need to make a phone reservation in advance. Cruise around Keelung Islet by yacht, then head to the Seafood Hot Pot Culture Museum — Taiwan’s first hot pot ingredient tourist factory. Here, you can learn about the production process of hot pot ingredients and even try making your own, enjoying a fun, eat-while-you-learn experience that also solves your lunch dilemma.

Another tourist factory in Keelung isn’t about food or ships — it’sYitai E Sanitary Ware Tourist Factoryand the nearbyYuanzhang Glass Technology Museum. As soon as you step into the sanitary ware factory, you’ll see all kinds of small white bathtubs. Sitting inside one feels like floating on a tiny boat in the vast ocean. At the Yuanzhang Glass Technology Museum, you can walk along the skywalk and glacier walkways, where the feeling of walking above nothingness and the thrill of treading on thin ice create an unforgettable, heart-pounding finale to your two-day Keelung adventure.
