Heping Island was called Sheliao Island in the past. It is located at the north of Taiwan. Heping Bridge connects the island to Keelung City. In 1626, the Spanish army built castles, churches and fortresses, preparing to do business with China and Japan. The castle on the southwest is called San Salvador, the saint savior. This is the first and currently the only castle in Keelung. During the Spanish occupation, Heping Island had busy trading activities with Southeast Asia. After World War II, the island was renamed Heping Island. Today, it is a famous tourist attraction. Heping Island is perfect for diving and sea fishing. With years of erosion by the wind and sea, the eroded rocks and coasts have formed special shapes. We have made Heping Island a coastal park with Ocean pools, beach, tour track, tourism service center and food and beverages. An idealy place for family to have fun together.

The landscape is so beautiful and the views of coffee shops are unforgettable. The walks along with the whole island and to the top of island are worthwhile and breathtaking. Swimming pool is also cozy enough skillfully integrated with amazing ocean.
