Why we send people here

Keelung’s own century-old bakery — pineapple cakes and curry pastries the locals queue for instead of the Taipei brands. Boxes are light, flat and cabin-proof.

Why it earns the hours
  • Short enough to be certain of: 1 hr door to door, so even a tender day works.
Before you count on it
  • No single published ride covers this one. Budget for a taxi both ways, or fold it into a guided day.
The story

Why Lee Hu pastry, since 1882 is famous

Lee Hu has sold pastries in Keelung since 1882, through the Qing, the Japanese colonial period and everything after. Its mung bean and meat-floss cakes are the town's standard gift, and the queue outside the original shop is a fixture rather than an event.

Where to have it

Three places, three different answers

The one the queue agrees on, the one people who live here use instead, and the one nearest your ship. Opening days change; check before you build a day around one.

If you have longer

What fits alongside it
