Chaojing Park sits at the tip of the Badouzi Peninsula, facing the Pacific Ocean with wide-open views. Artificial reefs have been placed in the near-shore waters, attracting marine life, making it a spot for rock fishing and coastal ecology observation on Keelung's northern coast. It is directly adjacent to the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology (NMMST).
What to See at Chaojing Park
Chaojing Park occupies the highest point of the Badouzi Peninsula, surrounded by sea on three sides, with views spanning the Pacific and the northern coast shoreline. The park's name "Chaojing" refers to the meeting of warm and cold ocean currents in these waters, which creates rich marine ecological conditions. Artificial reefs placed near the shore provide habitat for marine life, drawing rock fishing enthusiasts and snorkelers — though snorkeling activities should be assessed against the day's sea conditions.
The park's lawn area provides open space for outdoor relaxation, with a noticeable sea breeze. On clear days, the distant horizon is visible, and the open views are the defining quality of this location. NMMST is adjacent to the park, making it easy to combine indoor marine science exhibits with outdoor nature observation on the same day.
