Keelung Islet, a small island off the coast of Keelung, was closed in 2014 after being hit by a typhoon that severely damaged its dock. In February this year, winter sea waves further hindered the repair work. After overcoming numerous hurdles and completing reconstruction, the mysterious beauty island, closed for three years, will reopen for visitors.

Formed by an undersea volcanic eruption, Keelung Islet is essentially solidified magma that hardened upon contact with seawater. Constant erosion by waves and wind has created distinctive cliff coastlines. The island is surrounded by steep cliffs with almost no flat land, featuring numerous sea caves and rock reefs, earning it the reputation of a volcanic geological park.

During the closure, Keelung Islet underwent extensive dock repairs and reinforcement, and various visitor service facilities were developed. It is set to reopen this summer, much to the anticipation of travelers.
