Ershawan Fort played an important defensive role over the years. Now a historic site, you can only imagine some of the scenes its fortified walls have witnessed.

This history-filled fortress is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Zhongzheng. But Ershawan Fort isn't the area's only drawcard. Keelung Night Market, Jiufen Old Street, and Yehliu Geopark are some other worthwhile attractions nearby.

This hotel is definitely underrated. It is at least a four or 4 1/2 star. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable and quiet and very up-to-date. The staff is helpful and the location is excellent directly across from the train station the Shillin market a short walk away. So many food options to choose from. Even a bar almost next door.
