District
Keelung City (day trip)
Best for
Food-focused travelers, seafood lovers, night-market collectors
Time needed
2–4 hours (plus transit)
Highlights
- A different flavor from Taipei’s night markets (more ‘port city’ energy)
- Great pairing with Yehliu and north-coast scenery
- Perfect for evening timing—go late afternoon into night
Why go
If Taipei night markets are your hobby, Keelung Miaokou is an easy upgrade. The vibe shifts: more port-city energy, different specialties, and an evening that feels like a mini trip inside your trip.
It’s also a smart way to balance an outdoor day: do a coastal stop in the afternoon, then finish with a focused food mission at night.
How to plan it
Keep the day spacious. Plan one outdoor anchor (like Yehliu or a coastal trail), then arrive in Keelung late afternoon and let the night market be your only evening plan.
- North coast afternoon → Keelung night market dinner
- Avoid stacking two far day trips in one day
- Bring cash and a ‘graze slowly’ mindset
Pairings
This works best with north-coast landscapes. If you’re going to travel, make the day feel complete: nature + food.
- Yehliu Geopark + Keelung night market
- Bitou Cape trail + Keelung dinner
