Keelung Maritime Plaza, Keelung (must see)
Keelung Maritime Plaza is a modern public space situated at the heart of the city鈥檚 harborfront, offering locals and visitors a peaceful place to stroll, rest, and take in the maritime atmosphere. Opened as part of Keelung鈥檚 waterfront revitalization efforts, the plaza connects the bustling Port of Keelung with nearby cultural and commercial districts. Wide wooden boardwalks, wave-inspired benches, and open-air installations create a relaxed and open environment that contrasts with the busy port activity nearby.
The plaza is especially known for its panoramic views of the harbor, where cruise ships, fishing boats, and cargo vessels regularly come and go. A central pedestrian bridge links both sides of the harbor, allowing for leisurely walks with uninterrupted views of the water and skyline. The area is particularly appealing at sunset and in the evening, when the lights from docked ships and surrounding buildings reflect off the water, creating a scenic backdrop for photography or quiet reflection.
Throughout the year, Maritime Plaza hosts seasonal events, night markets, and art exhibitions, transforming the space into a lively gathering point. Musical performances and food trucks often appear during weekends or holidays, adding to the festive atmosphere. The plaza also serves as a convenient waypoint for tourists making their way to nearby attractions such as Miaokou Night Market, the Port of Keelung, and the city鈥檚 central shopping streets.
