About The Port Of Taipei
Keelung's port sits along a natural harbor ringed by lush hills on Taiwan's northern coast, long known as a gateway to the capital. The city itself offers an easy introduction to northern Taiwan, with a lively waterfront, historic temples, and one of the island's most renowned night markets within easy reach of the pier.
Inland, Taipei unfolds as a layered capital shaped by Chinese, Japanese, and Southeast Asian influences. The bamboo-inspired Taipei 101 tower anchors a skyline that mixes modern ambition with tradition, while the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial and the Martyrs' Shrine, a fine example of classical Ming-style architecture, reflect the island's twentieth-century history. Together, port and capital reveal a compact but richly layered corner of East Asia.
Pavlus Recommendations
How our planners would spend a day in Taipei .
Ride the High-Speed Rail to Taipei
Trains and highway shuttles cover the roughly 45-minute to hour-long trip into the capital, making Taipei 101, the memorial halls, and museums feasible even on a single port day.
Browse Miaokou Night Market
Keelung's famed street-food market sits an easy walk from the harbor, packed with stalls serving Taiwanese classics like tempura and oyster omelets—an authentic bite of local life without leaving port.
Visit Dianji Temple and the Waterfront
Wander the harborside promenade to this ornate, dragon-adorned temple, one of Keelung's oldest, then linger over the hillside views ringing the bay before heading back to the ship.
