Why this order
A Keelung date does not need a coastal expedition. See art in the centre, walk to Miaokou for dinner, then sit by the harbour near the station. Three close stops leave more time for each other than for transport.
Your afternoon and evening
15:00–16:30 art; 17:30–18:45 dinner; 19:00 harbour. Museum free, food extra. Leaving by 16:30 works with both opening schedules.
Start from Keelung railway station or intercity bus terminal; walk into the centre and finish by the station at Ocean Plaza.

Walk — About 700 m from Miaokou; allow 12–15 minutes.
At 19:00, sit by the port and look at boats and city lights. The station is close; romance does not require another ride to a more distant stretch of coast. The outdoor plaza is free.
