Hi~

How to go to Keelung from Xin Beitou? Cuz I'll be going for the hotspring at Xin beitou before making my way down to Keelung. Or is it better I set off from Ximending to Keelung?

Is Keelung worth a visit? I havent been there for my last Taiwan trip so not sure whether worth the time.

Are all the night markets and places of interest like peace island near the night market?

Thanks!
