Keelung_City in Taiwan TAIWAN taiwan. keelung_city Informations and links Keelung_City Map Keelung_City Photos Keelung_City ------------------------------- Keelung (Chinese:Hanyu Pinyin: J?l?ng; Wade-Giles: Chi-lung; POJ: Ke-l?ng) is a provincial city of Taiwan Province, Republic of China. Located in the northeastern of the island and bordering Taipei County, it is Taiwan's second largest seaport (after Kaohsiung). Keelung is nicknamed "The Rainy Port". Keelung was first inhabited by the Ketagalan, a tribe of Taiwanese aborigine. "Keelung" used to be written in the homophonous characters meaning "Rooster Cage" (??), named after a local mountain of such a shape. Another theory suggests that the characters were transcription of a Ketagalan placename. The characters were changed in 1875 (Qing Dynasty) to mean "The Base that Prospers". (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
In 1895, military defeat forced China to cede Taiwan to Japan. Taiwan reverted to Chinese control after World War II. Following the Communist victory on the mainland in 1949, 2 million Nationalists fled to Taiwan and established a government using the 1946 constitution drawn up for all of China. Over the next five decades, the ruling authorities gradually democratized and incorporated the native population within the governing structure. In 2000, Taiwan underwent its first peaceful transfer of power from the Nationalist to the Democratic Progressive Party. Throughout this period, the island prospered and became one of East Asia's economic "Tigers." The dominant political issues continue to be the relationship between Taiwan and China - specifically the question of eventual unification - as well as domestic political and economic reform..
