TAMSU AND KEELUNG
The railway line between Tamsui and Daitotei (Twatutia) was opened on August, 25th, 1901, and has been of great benefit to the people of the district. The actual cost of construction was insignificant, the line having been laid upon a practically level sur- face for nearly the whole of its route. Keelung is the northern terminus of the trans- Formosan government railway; the total length of this line to Takow, on the south- west coast, is 251 miles. The capital, called by the Chinese Taipeh, is now under the Japanese nomenclature, called Taihoku. Twatutia will be found in the Japanese postal guide as Daitotei. It is here, on the outskirts of Taihoku, and on the Tamsui River which flows past Daitotei, that the foreign merchants have their residential and business quarters. At the mouth of the Tamsui River lies the town of Hobé, in Japanese Kobi, but now most usually called Tamsui to avoid confusion with Kobe in Japan proper.
