The island features a trail to the lighthouse at the highest peak that provides breathtaking views of the surrounding area. Just a short trip from Taipei, and then a 20-minute boat ride, it is one of the most accessible outer islands that you can visit in Taiwan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Travel Tips Block -->\n<div style=\"\n    border: 2px solid #4CAF50; \/* Colored frame *\/\n    border-radius: 8px;\n    padding: 15px 20px;\n    margin: 20px 0;\n    background-color: #f9f9f9;\n    font-family: 'Lato', Arial, sans-serif;\n    line-height: 1.6;\n    box-shadow: 0px 2px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);\n\">\n    <p style=\"\n        margin-top: 0;\n        font-size: 20px;\n        color: #333333;\n        font-weight: 700;\n        display: flex;\n        align-items: center;\n    \">\n        \ud83d\udee5\ufe0f Planning your trip to Keelung Islet?

After the volcano&nbsp;was formed, it was slowly eroded away by wave action, creating a steep mountain peak with sides at about a 60-degree angle. The island is <a href=\"https:\/\/zh.wikipedia.org\/zh-tw\/%E5%9F%BA%E9%9A%86%E5%B6%BC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">182<\/a> meters tall (597 feet), 960 meters long (3139 feet), and 400 meters (1312 feet) wide.&nbsp;<br>Except for crabs, birds, lizards, and insects, the island remained uninhabited until the Japanese stationed troops here during the colonization of Taiwan.&nbsp;<br>After the ROC took control of Taiwan, the island continued to be a military base.&nbsp;<br>In 1980, the Keelung Islet Lighthouse was completed. It was the first lighthouse in Taiwan built in an octagonal&nbsp;shape, and the first powered by solar power and batteries.<br>The islet was opened to tourists in 2001, however, tourism to the island was stopped in 2014 after Typhoon Maria ravaged the island, and was closed for five years until 2019.&nbsp;<br>Currently, the island is open to tourists, but you cannot stay overnight there. The only people who live on the island are members of the Coast Guard who stay there on a rotational basis.&nbsp;<br>Tourist boats take off daily from Baodouzi Harbor from April until October, and the island is closed to tourists during the winter months due to strong northeasterly winds.&nbsp;<br>The island is popular, especially&nbsp;on weekends during the summer, but only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kltravel.tw\/#:~:text=%E7%82%BA%E5%9B%A0%E6%87%89%E5%9F%BA%E9%9A%86%E5%B8%82%E6%94%BF%E5%BA%9C,%E7%9A%84%E4%B8%8D%E4%BE%BF%E6%B7%B1%E6%84%9F%E6%8A%B1%E6%AD%89%EF%BC%81\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1200<\/a> people are allowed to visit each day, so you may have to <a href=\"https:\/\/affiliate.klook.com\/redirect?aid=33635&amp;aff_adid=723414&amp;k_site=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.klook.com%2Factivity%2F46681-keelung-island-hopping-experience%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">book<\/a> in advance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hours:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Boats to Keelung Islet leave at about 8 AM, with the last boats leaving at about 1 PM.&nbsp;&nbsp;Everyone has to be off the island before sundown.

I have been to all the other major outer islands in Taiwan, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignersintaiwan.com\/blog-370963385326684\/turtle-island-guishan-island\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Turtle Island<\/a> which is a very similar experience to Keelung Islet. Overall this island exceeded my expectations. It has one of the best hikes and some of the best views of any outer island in Taiwan. I highly recommend this trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Part of the reason I waited so long to take the trip was because I did not want to take the early morning ferry.
