There is still work going on in the new transit bus station complex behind the basic Kuo-Kuang bus station with its wave roof. In the future, most buses in the city and intercity buses should be located between both train terminals.
At the moment (April 2023) Google Maps can not draw the shortest pedestrian crossing route.
You will see this after finishing your walk along the waterfront. Just be careful and watch out for scooters while crossing the road.
Head for this one if your ship is at the East wharves.
West 2-3-4 and beyond are very close to the small but easier North terminal, pictures are here.
There is a sloping ramp down to the track level. Its modest elevator is easier to spot.
In case of taking an NT 85-90 taxi ride to the train station, this terminal is easier to navigate and to be dropped off at,
I always use this quieter one to get onto the same train in the last of 8-12 carriages.
This is a map displayed in both stations. Things have changed, and will keep doing so:
1. KuoKuang station moved to the right of the roundabout, see the photo.

All their intercity buses leave from here. Other lines mentioned in my blog have stops along Gangxi street.
2. Keelung Station Visitor Information Center - such an official long description... moved to the right of the KuoKuang bus station on Gangxi street. It is in an old yellow brick building across from the OCAM museum.
This is where bus T99 tickets are sold and the tourist bus starts. Pick up maps of Keelung here.
Note that tourism info is often divided between a desk for Keelung and one for Taipei upon the arrival of your ship. The fact that the national Tourism Bureau does not ever cover both functions AND cruise lines are still confusing Keelung and Taipei can make you wonder....
As the white Hollywood-like sign on Huzi mountain says: You arrived in Keelung, a port for Taipei - a 50 minutes train ride or drive away from here.
