Buddha’s Hand Cave

Buddha’s Hand Cave (Fo Shou Yan) in Keelung is a small seaside grotto known for rock formations resembling a giant hand and for weathered Buddhist inscriptions carved into its walls. Set along the rugged Badouzi/Chaojing coast, it pairs easily with nearby coastal trails, the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology, and fishing-harbor snacks. Expect a short, uneven walk, sea spray, and photogenic sandstone textures rather than an extensive cave system. Best for travelers interested in geology, coastal scenery, and low-key cultural traces; less compelling if you’re seeking dramatic caverns or a full-day standalone attraction.
