Keelung City is a major port city situated in the northeastern part of Taiwan. It borders New Taipei and forms the TaipeiKeelung metropolitan area, along with the Taipei and New Taipei. Nicknamed the Rainy Port for its frequent rain and maritime role, the city is Taiwan’s second largest seaport (after Kaohsiung). Keelung is currently administered as a provincial municipality within Republic of China (Taiwan). The city of Keelung was known as Kelung or Keelung to the Western World during the 19th century. However, the Taiwanese people have long called the city Kelang . It has been proposed that the name Keelung was derived from the local mountain that took the shape of a rooster cage. However, it is more probable that the name was derived from the first inhabitants of the region, as are the names of many other Taiwanese cities. In this case, the Ketagalan people were the first inhabitants, and early Han settlers probably approximated “Ketagalan” with “Ke-lâng” .
