Keelung Photo Gallery

Originally called "Jilong", meaning hens' cage, Keelung is the Taiwan's second port. During the Qing dynasty, the harbour was developed as a naval defense centre and a railroad was built to connect with Taipei. The Japanese further developed the harbour during the occupation, only to be destroyed by American bombers in World War II. Today, Keelung remains a port city and can be easily accessed from Taipei by train or bus.
