Keelung, The name evolved from 'Chicken Cage' (雞籠) to 'Foundation Prosper'(基隆)


The majestic Keelung Mountain is located at Northeast Corner of Taiwan facing the Pacific Ocean. It looks like a pyramid; for Taiwanese farmer, it looks like a chicken cage. The name of the mountain was originally called as the 'Chicken Cage' 雞籠, or Keelung in English. Over the time, the name evolved to 基隆, literally means 'Foundation Prosper' but with the same pronunciation, Keelung.
