Keelung 基隆 is divided into a number of districts with generic KMT names: Rén'ài District 仁愛區 encompasses the historic downtown core at the foot of the harbour; Zhōngshān 中山區 follows the shoreline to the west; and Zhōngzhèng District 中正區, which includes Hépíng Island 和平島 and Bādǒuzi 八斗子 sprawls to the northeast. For the purposes of this blog, this region amalgamates the four districts next to the waterfront, leaving only Qidu and Nuannuan in the interior as separate locales.
