A Keelung date: books, Miaokou and the harbour

Sea To See Bookafé → Miaokou dinner → Ocean Plaza

A yellow seated figure against a photograph of an old Keelung building on a turquoise poster listing four workshops and two walks.

Why this order

Choose a book for each other and explain your pick over a drink. Eat what catches your eye at Miaokou, then look at boats beside the harbour. For a longer cultural day, register separately for one of the bookshop's film or writing workshops.

Your afternoon and evening

15:00–16:30 bookshop; 17:00–18:00 dinner; 18:15 harbour. Workshops are separately registered sessions, outside this self-guided walk.

From Keelung Station's south side, walk about 640 m; allow 10–12 minutes to the bookshop on Ren'er Road. The map points to the bookshop; registered participants follow their confirmation for the meeting point.
