[edit] History
The Treaties of Tianjin of 1860 specified Tamsui as an open port. The Port of Keelung opened the following year. In the Japanese colonial period, the Governor-General of Taiwan started the development of Keelung Harbor. By the early and middle 20th century, it was the largest port in Taiwan at the time.
