TAMSUI AND KEELUNG-TAIHOKU (TAIPEH) & DAITOTE (TWATUTIA) 515
completed on Pak-sa Point, a low headland on the west coast, some 20 miles south-west of Tamsui, and one has been erected on Agincourt Island. At Keelung there is a stone quay in eonnection with the railway, alongside of which the regular mail steamers of the 6,000 tons class are berthed, the depth of water alongside being 28-30 feet. When the improvements in progress are completed it will be possible to accommodate at the quay about 10 steainers each of 10,000 tons capacity, and admit six steamers below this tonnage at the buoys.
The railway line between Tamsui and Taipeh was opened in August, 1901, and has been of great benefit to the people of the district. Keelung is the northern terminus of the trans-Formosan Government Railway. The capital city is known by the Chinese name of Taipeh, and also under the Japanese nomenclature of Taihoku, which is now applicable, also, to the whole district, the former names of Manka, Datotei, etc., having recently been abolished. At the mouth of the Tamsui river lies the town of Hobé, usually known as Tamsui to avoid confusion with Kobe in Japan proper.
