Private Keelung Guided Tour
Private Tour Details
At your chosen time, we'll meet at the main entrance of the Keelung Port Building to begin this cultural immersion.
First, we'll tour the Maritime Square. At this key location, you'll learn about the port history of Keelung, which for centuries was Taiwan's gateway to Spanish, Dutch, and later Japanese colonial influence, marking its destiny as a commercial and military centre.
Next, we'll visit Chenghuang Temple, dedicated to the God of Walls and Moats, a deity who acts as the spiritual magistrate and guardian of the city. You'll observe the daily rituals and understand how this deity protects the living and administers justice over the spirits of the city.
Next, we'll explore the narrow streets of Columbus Alley and Herb Alley, where traditional apothecaries sold remedies made from local herbs, a legacy of traditional Taiwanese medicine that still lives on in the heart of the city.
We'll continue the tour by immersing ourselves in Ren'ai Market. This vibrant market is the centre of daily life for the locals, where the flavours and smells will allow you to experience the genuine rhythm of the port city.
We'll also admire the impressive Tienji Temple, a place of worship famous for its colourfulness and its central role in the city's religious festivities. This temple is an excellent example of Taiwan's rich religious architecture, with its elaborate roofs and detailed sculptures.
At the end of the tour, between 1.5 and 2 hours after the start, you can choose whether to end the tour at the Cruise Terminal or at the famous Miaokou Market.
