Chaojing Park

Chaojing Park is located in the east side of the Badouzi peninsula and faces the Wanghaixiang bay. Although it was originally the site of a 1000 square meter landfill, the construction of the NMMST has brought about a huge transformation. Chaojing Park now features a parking lot, bike trails, futons, garden chairs, lawns and landscape sculptures, making it a wonderful place to walk, jog, bike and go sight-seeing. Inside the park, a local poet has left his works to allow tourists to appreciate the maritime lifestyle.

Wangyou Valley

Reviewed By Bee8811 - Singapore, Singapore

Be prepared to walk and come in good walking shoes. The steps are manageable for most people, young and old. Take your time to enjoy the scenery from various locations. If you are a free-and-easy traveller, be warned that some public buses do not run on weekends. We waited at a bus-stop for a long while. There was no indication on the signage that the bus only runs on weekdays. Luckily a group of local travellers came along to wait for the same bus. They checked on their mobile app and realised that the bus had not left the station at all. Find out first.

Heping Island Park

Heping Island was called Sheliao Island in the past. It is located at the north of Taiwan. Heping Bridge connects the island to Keelung City. In 1626, the Spanish army built castles, churches and fortresses, preparing to do business with China and Japan. The castle on the southwest is called San Salvador, the saint savior. This is the first and currently the only castle in Keelung. During the Spanish occupation, Heping Island had busy trading activities with Southeast Asia. After World War II, the island was renamed Heping Island. Today, it is a famous tourist attraction. Heping Island is perfect for diving and sea fishing. With years of erosion by the wind and sea, the eroded rocks and coasts have formed special shapes. We have made Heping Island a coastal park with Ocean pools, beach, tour track, tourism service center and food and beverages. An idealy place for family to have fun together.

The landscape is so beautiful and the views of coffee shops are unforgettable. The walks along with the whole island and to the top of island are worthwhile and breathtaking. Swimming pool is also cozy enough skillfully integrated with amazing ocean.

Zhongzheng Park

Reviewed By sharonhW264WM - Las Vegas, United States

We spent our first day in Taiwan in Taipei. Fortunately our cruise ship did not leave early the next morning, so we were able to explore Keelung. We hired a local taxi driver to give us a 90-minute tour of the area for about $30 US. He was amazing! He took us to Zhongzheng Park atop a large hill overlooking the harbor. A huge smiling Buddha statue greeted us as we climbed the steps to the top. We had a chance to ring the huge bell enshrined there by pulling hard on a rope attached to a large metal rod and then releasing it to hit the bell. It was much harder than it looked. We saw the very tall statue of Guanyin, a Buddhist goddess, in the center of the plaza—an amazing sight--and also climbed to the top of the statue via a very small, narrow winding staircase to get an wonderful view of the harbor and Keelung below. From there he took us to see remnants of World War II that were enshrined amid the beautiful green forest and the flowers on the mountain—tanks, anti-aircraft guns, a huge boat propeller, an anchor, and a mig jet. Next stop, the Museum of the Ghost Festival. During the Qing Dynasty people from Zangzhou and Quanzhou moved to Keelung and fought. Many died. To prevent further clan wars, they began to have sacrificial ceremonies hosted by different clansmen, by turns, to honor the dead. This resulted in the Midsummer Ghost Sacrificial Ceremony held in July of each year. Finally, he drove us through Keelung, and we stopped to see the most beautiful temple—marble floors and walls, colorful statues, and orchids everywhere. A lovely lady there gave us small candles to light and place on the altar. It was a wonderful tour. Especially great for cruise ship passengers!
