Beautiful views, amazing trails, tours for families, bus from Train Station. Dharma Drum Mountain may not be one of the first places you think to take your kids but it is definitely a wonderful experience for them. http://www.dharmadrum.org/wcbe/content/showcontent/showcontent.aspx?sn=8 Click on Scenic Spots for an interactive map. They own the whole mountain, so it's in a very natural state.

"The "Tour Taiwan Shuttle Bus Service" is a shuttle bus service inaugurated by the Tourism Bureau, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, in 2009 for linking sightseeing spots. In addition to the high bus frequency and budget price, the service links different sightseeing spots, thus making it suitable for both casual tourists and those on in-depth tours. The Golden Fulong Route includes the most popular spots along the Northeast Coast, including Jiufen, Jinguashi and Fulong. Along the route, there is golden beach, great blue sea views, yachts and surfers, scenes from Japanese rule of the past and mine views. Have we drawn your attention? Let us follow the Golden Fulong Route to explore the wonders of the Northeast Coast Area!" http://www.gold-fulong.com.tw/en/fulong_run.aspx

Theater group "Short One Player" (http://www.shortoneplayer.com/) are running a series of events and workshops at the Keelung Cultural Center during Oct/Nov. Many of the activities are free. We attended one yesterday, learning how to make objects "get a life of their own". There is a full-day event on Sunday, covering Identity and Mime. This is not an event for little kids. Older children who enjoy theater can get much out of it. Language: Mandarin.
