A salty wind meets the city as your private car slips north out of Taipei and the skyline thins into harbor cranes and low mountains. Keelung Harbor opens like a working page—piers, fishing boats, and the steady clank of cargo giving rhythm to the water. Your guide navigates quays and viewpoints, and the harbor’s scale becomes clear: a narrow 2,000-meter channel hemmed by headlands, with hills leaning in as if to listen.
