Just a stone's throw from the bustling lanes of Jiufen, you'll find the trailhead for Mount Keelung. It's a rewarding climb, mostly up well-maintained stone steps, that will take you about an hour to an hour and a half for the round trip. As you ascend, the stunning panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the charming hillside town unfold below. It's a local favorite for catching the sunset, and on a clear day, you might even spot the iconic Taipei 101 in the distance. The trail is free to access and open 24/7.
