Think twice if

Transport to the meeting point is excluded, so you take the train into Taipei and the MRT to Beimen yourself. The route ends at Ningxia night market and the record gives no start time, so check it against your all-aboard before booking. Keelung's own Miaokou night market is a 10-minute walk from the ship if you only want street food.
