The park climbs the hillside directly behind the harbour and is topped by a white Guanyin statue about 22 metres tall, flanked by two large lions, looking straight down at the cruise berths.
The same hillside holds the Keelung Midsummer Ghost Festival Museum, which explains the city's Zhongyuan festival — the oldest and largest ghost month ceremony in Taiwan, running since 1855 as a deliberate replacement for lethal fighting between two immigrant communities.
Five things the plaques won't tell you
- It is a genuine hill. Take a taxi up and walk down if the heat is serious.
- The Keelung Tower lift up from Yi 2nd Road (free) reopened on 22 August 2026 after renovation: 09:00–21:00 daily, closed on the last Monday of each month.
- The ghost festival museum is listed by the city as closed for renovation, with no reopening date. Check the listing before counting on it.
- Ershawan Fort, taken by the French in 1884, is on the same ridge.
- The view down onto your own ship is the best photograph most people get in this port.

Questions people ask here
What is at Zhongzheng Park in Keelung?
A hillside park behind the harbour topped by a white Guanyin statue about 22 metres tall, looking directly down at the cruise berths. The same ridge holds the Keelung Midsummer Ghost Festival Museum and Ershawan Fort, taken by the French in 1884.
How hard is the walk up to Zhongzheng Park?
About fifteen minutes uphill from the berths, and it is a real hill in Keelung's humidity. Taking a taxi up and walking down is the sensible order, especially in summer.
