For history buffs, a visit to Ershawan Fort (also known as Fort Erlin) is a must. This historical military fort was built by the Qing Dynasty in the 19th century to defend Keelung Harbor. It offers a fascinating insight into Taiwan’s military past, as well as spectacular views over the harbor and the city.

If you are looking to enjoy some greenery and relax amidst nature, make your way to Zhongzheng Park.
