TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Keelung launched Taiwan’s first sightseeing bus service for cruise ship passengers on Tuesday (July 23), Keelung’s Department of Transportation and Tourism said.

Keelung is a popular destination for international cruise ships, and giant vessels docked in the busy downtown harbor are part of the cityscape.

Keelung Mayor Lin Yu-chang (林右昌) said that as more international cruise ships are visiting Keelung, the city government has teamed up with Port of Keelung to launch the nation’s first one-day sightseeing bus service for cruise ship passengers.

The department said the bus will depart every 40 minutes while the ship is docked in the harbor. A one-day ticket includes a foreign-language guide and visits to popular attractions such as Heping Island, the colorful houses at Chen-Pin Fishing Harbor (正濱漁港), and Chaojing Park.
