A trip to Keelung islet (Jilongyu)

Taking the bus from near Zhongxiao fuxing...
Meanwhile I also tried some burger at Laya, it was more lke a muffin (mcdonalds style)...
Still ok...
1579 to Baduozi...pretty convenient...
One person at the whole station..still lining up...
The bus had sockets...easy...
Many containers at the port of keelung...
And i departet at the station "fishing goods outlet center"...
Many locals were also heading to keelung islet...
This company arranged it...
last time i couldnt get there...
This was kind of attempt number 3...
I had to show passport...unlike turtle island this was not cus it was a military island 20 years ago and noone bothered to remove the rule of ID...(even if it now belongs to the tourist office):
It was rather that the coast guard did not want people to smuggle stuff...and thus wanted to make sure that the same people returned with the same boat...
Alot of propotion for the keelung islet/island trips...
Here is information from the spot...
Hundreds of travellers...as it sounded like...
Many boats to there...
I was the only foreinger...the others lined up like military...so professional...
Some ship monument...
The boat was some 5 minutes away...
and we all got these tags...
Some guy got seasick...
Over there was keelung harbour...
Beeing seasick sux...same as car sick...
Far over there is Yangming shan...
Keelung island is approaching...
Not sure abou any volcanic activity...but for sure it was high waves up there...
The boat saff seemed professional...
They had some houses there..but not any old communicty...like turtle island...
Other boats were there too...
Once arrived we were counted by the coast guard...
The bridge to land was moving alot...due to some waves...
This is the coast guard office...
The coast guard is done counting...
They had plenty of monuments here...
And information signs...but only in chinese...
Another monument.
At Heping island (closer to keelung) the dutch people had some reminding monument...but here on keelung islet the japanese had some monuments...
Also some wierd crown was placed close to a path through the mountain...
And some high basketball hoop...
Locals and foreingers taking pics...and some guide talking in chinese...
Now passing by the crown...
In the small tunnel...
And some dangerous animals...
And some interesting walls...
And radar station...
Alot of rocks looked funny...
And some path up to the top (light house)...
But we were heading to the other side of the island..just for fun...
Some rocks had names such as turtle etc...based on how they looked like...same as at green island...
Some random temple...
Many people passed by and prayed...
And the walk continued...
More praying and picture taking...
Walk, walk...in the wind...
Omg, at the end of the path...many fishermen stood at the cliffs...I think they were dropped there by a boat...to be picked up later in the day...impresive...
Alot of garbage at the sea side...I hope they clean once in a while...like at the west coast of sweden...
Plastic and metallic items...
Cleaning might be a never ending project...
And solar panels...
And some old cellar...i guess...
In case of war, people could hide here...
Many boats out fishing now...
Almost the whole island had this bridge for walkers...around the shore...
I was heading to the top...
The light house was at the top...
Still high waves down there...
Omg...reached it...almost 200 mountain high...
Black and white...
Eating swedish kexchoklad once here..
Some local elevation sign...
And hte view to taiwan...
And the view back...I managed to find a geocache at the top...
They had road signs at many places on the island...
And some helicopter sign...
Time to return...line up to be counted...
My friend the coast guard went out to count us in...
Later he headed back to his office..I hope he has wifi atleast...
Once we left the island we drove around the island...
The guide told us this cliff looks like an elephant trunk...
The back side of keelung islet...
Many fishers...
And then back to keelung harbor...
And to the fish market...
I got ripped off by the locals...almost as in vietnam.
Some glimpse of the kitchen...
And a crab...
And some lobster looking thing...
some more fishes...
The prices...but if they think the crabs contains roe, they will charge you much much more...
I also bought some cheap squid...
And tried some snails...
Squid with wasabi...
After this I headed back to the city...and later to the top...of taipei...near tianmu...
I have been here before...its a place with nice view of the city...
I had to take a number for the queue...
Nice view...
And many drinks...
My first drink was pretty sweet...
I liked the fruit...
The front looked almost like a swimming pool..but wasnt...I also spent some time trying to find airplanes...but last arrival time to songshan airport already pasted...so no use...
I had plenty of cheese dishes...
And some pinacolada and chocolate smoothie...it was good (with coffee beans)...2019 continues...
