Introduction

Peace Island is a beautiful island located in Zhongzheng District, Keelung City. It is situated in the northeast of Keelung Port. The Basay tribe on the island calls it "tuman," while it was called She Liao Island by the Han people who settled there in the 17th century. It is one of the earliest places in northern Taiwan to have Western influence and one of the earliest places in Keelung to be settled by Han people. Due to the strong influence of the northeast monsoon, Peace Island has formed a unique landscape: grayish-yellow rocks resembling mushrooms grow out of the ground, and the rocks, neatly stacked like tofu, have been intricately carved by wind and rain into a moon-like terrain, offering breathtaking views. After careful renovation by the Keelung government, the number of visitors to the island has gradually increased. Although the scenery of Peace Island is not inferior to Yehliu, it used to be a military restricted area, so few people knew about it. Among the rocky shores, there is also a seawater swimming pool that is parallel to the sea surface. Visitors who come to Keelung in the summer can swim in the pool, play with the fish, and enjoy the spectacular sight of large ships anchoring in the harbor.
