5 THINGS TO DO IN BEITOU
1. Hot Springs (05:17)
On leaving MRT Xinbeitou Station, you will immediately see the entrance to Beitou Hot Spring Park across the main road, to the right. Take a walk through this long and narrow park, and check out the shallow Beitou Stream, steaming with hot-spring water. About two-thirds of the way through the park, which slopes upward from the main road, you’ll spot a beautifully restored historic building, today home to the Beitou Hot Spring Museum (hotspringmuseum.taipei). This was originally a public bathhouse, built in 1913, at the time the largest of its kind in East Asia. Here you can learn about the history of hot-spring bathing in Beitou while, among other things, viewing a restored Romanesque pool with Roman-style columns as well as a Japanese-style tatami post-bathing rest area.
There is a wide range of options in Beitou for your own hot-spring bathing, including upscale hot-spring hotels such as the Grand View Resort Beitou (gvrb.com.tw). If you are on a limited budget, however, and just want to experience the simple pleasures of outdoor-pool soaking together with local hot-spring lovers, head to the Beitou outdoor public hot springs, formally called the Millenium Hot Spring, a few minutes on foot west of the hot-spring museum along Zhongshan Road (open daily; tickets NT$40). For more info about hot-spring bathing options in Beitou and around Taiwan, visit taiwanhotspring.net.
2. Public Library (04:19)
Also located inside Beitou Hot Spring Park, between the museum and the public pools, is an interesting building that resembles a giant ark. This is the Beitou Branch of the Taipei Public Library, an ultra-efficient modern building constructed with protection of the environment in mind and offering a pleasant space for reading and studying. Opened to the public in 2006, the library is housed in an award-winning green building with such features as solar panels on the roof, rainfall capturing/storage systems, and a design that keeps power consumption to a minimum.
3. Thermal Valley (06:32)
At the far, upper end of the hot-spring park, look left and you’ll spot the entrance to Thermal Valley, the source of the park area’s sulfurous hot-spring water. Surrounded by trees, this deep, rock-strewn depression was created long ago by a volcanic burst. The sulfurous waters in the depression’s large pool bubble and spit, the steam sometimes filling the entire little valley on cool days. The Ketagalan people who once lived in the area called the valley “Patauw,” meaning “witch” or “sorceress.” “Beitou” is a bastardization of this original name.
4. Beitou Museum (8:23)
Further uphill from the hot-spring park and the thermal-spring valley, on Youya Road, is the Beitou Museum (beitoumuseum.org.tw), an excellent place to learn more about Beitou’s history, indigenous culture, and the Japanese colonial era – the museum building was original constructed in 1921 as a fancy hot-spring hotel for the Japanese elite – and also to taste fine cuisine (Kaiseki-style) and take in irregular cultural performances (in a spacious tatami room).
5. Xinbeitou Historic Station (00:50)
Back beside MRT Xinbeitou Station is another heritage building you don’t want to miss, the Xinbeitou Historic Station (xbths.taipei). Located in the small park on the southern side of the station, this important work of heritage architecture was reopened earlier this year. Originally built in 1916, the station was dismantled in 1988 to make room for the MRT station, and was then purchased, rebuilt, and displayed at the Taiwan Folk Village in Changhua County, central Taiwan, before being returned to Taipei in 2013. After being painstakingly restored once again over a period of four years, the station has now become one of the most iconic historic attractions in the city.

Beitou Hot Springs Tour and HUGE Countryside Taiwanese Chinese Food Feast! (Day 7)

►Subscribe to my videos:
Day 7 in Taiwan, was one of our best days so far. Ying and I woke up at our new hotel, and we decided to go on a quick day trip to Beitou hot springs, a famous area in Taipei, where there’s a natural hot water spring, and home to quite a lot of history, attractions and relaxing hotels. It was very easy to get from central Taipei to Beitou by using public transportation on the train, and it took about 30 minutes to get from central Taipei to Xin Beitou station. From Xin Beitou station, we walked over to the hot springs area.
2:15 Beitou Public Library
The first place we arrived on our day trip to Beitou hot springs was the Beitou Public Library. The library is fully in use, but the reason it’s popular to visit and it’s kind of an attraction is because of its unique architecture and its eco friendly design. We didn’t spend more than a few minutes there, but just looked at it from the outside and then took a quick peek inside.
2:45 Beitou Hot Springs Museum
One of the main attractions at Beitou is the hot springs museum, originally the original Japanese bathhouse in Beitou. It’s not a huge museum, and the price is free, so it’s a good place to just check out for a few minutes before moving on.
3:29 Beitou Plum Garden
I thought it was just going to be a garden with plums, but it was actually the former home of a famous Chinese calligrapher. The house was another quick stop on our day trip, but worth the quick visit.
3:52 Beitou Hot Springs - Public Bath
The time finally came to visit the main attraction at Beitou, the hot springs. They have many higher end spas and hotels with private baths, but I went for the public Taiwanese style hot spring bath. They didn’t allow any photography inside, but it was pretty nice and I enjoyed soaking in the natural hot water for a few minutes before moving on with our day.
4:54 Thermal Valley
One of the most famous things to see in Beitou is the Thermal Valley, a big pool of water that’s boiling hot and is the source of the hot springs for Beitou. The water is really hot and there’s not swimming so it’s more of just a viewpoint and a place to take photos.
While there, we met up with Joe, Raymond, and his Father, by random chance. They were visiting from California and were spending the day at the Beitou hot springs and were en-route to have lunch and go to another hot spring and invited us to go along with them.
6:32 Epic Taiwanese Country Style Farm Lunch
Along with Joe, Raymond, and his Father, we drove through the mountains and after about 45 minutes we arrived at a small local style hot spring where we were going to have lunch. They did all the ordering and we were soon faced with what was one of the best Taiwanese food meals I had the entire trip to Taiwan. All the food was home style cooked, and tasted very country style, and everything was delicious. I especially enjoyed the deer on the hot plate and the roast quail.
On Day 7 in Taiwan, we planned to just take a day trip to Beitou hot springs, but completely unplanned, it turned into one of the best days of our trip and one of the best meals as well.
Big thank you to Joe, Raymond, and his Father for inviting us!

I had the opportunity to visit Taiwan for a week. Marking the second country in Asia I've been to. I've been living in Japan for a year now and will be posting more adventure vlogs about that soon. This first part of my Taiwan series is located in Wulai, a quaint valley village outside of Taipei about 40 minutes. We collaborated with some local businesses:

So go to the end of the old street past the wild boar sausage stand, you'll see a bridge crossing the river on the right, go over that and take a left, you'll see a mural of deer on the wall to the right and the Fish Spa is across from that - the sign is small but the downstairs sells icecream/ice treats.
Things I ate were all tasty, but as you can see some, harder to chew than others.

BEITOU HOT SPRINGS - Best Day Trip From Taipei
We found some incredible hot springs in Taiwan - the Beitou hot springs are located in Taipei city and are absolutely beautiful - definitely, one of the top day trips from Taipei, combined with hiking in Yangmingshan is its close by.
The main hot springs require a ticket to enter, but there are lots of streams and even public baths nearby that are free to use. Don't get into the river though - water is MUCH too hot and could burn you. Check out my Taipei playlist for more Taiwan travel inspo.
World's Top Hot Springs District-Beitou, Taiwan
Beitou Hot Springs District in Taipei City, Taiwan is one of the largest hot springs districts in the world. It's original Japanese influence is found in it's heritage buildings and wonderfully landscaped gardens. Originally developed during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan near the beginning of the 20th century, it's a popular destination for residents of Taipei with it's convenient location only 25 minutes from the city's Main Station(train/MRT station).
Plum Garden was built towards the end of the 1930’s as a retreat and villa for Mr. Youren Yu, a calligraphy master who would vacation here in the summer. Plum Garden was rated as a historical site by the Taipei City government in 2006. It is a traditional Japanese style residential building equipped with an air raid shelter.
The home showcases the artistry of Mr. Youren Yu.
The Beitou Hot Springs Museum was built in 1913 as the Beitou Public Bathouse at the time the largest bathhouse in East Asia. But by World War ll the building had been abandoned. While on a field trip in 1994 a group of teachers and students from the Beitou Elementary School discovered that the bathouse was still abandoned and petitioned for the conversation of the site. By 1998 the bathouse had been restored and opened to the public as the Beitou Hot Springs Museum.
In it’s glory days Beitou with it’s hot springs culture and romantic atmosphere became the backdrop for many films earning it the nickname the Hollywood of the Taiwanese film industry.

Taipei 4K - Beitou Hot Springs and How to Get There - Taipei Travel Vlog
Taipei Travel Vlog. Taipei 4K Videos. We are in Taipei, Taiwan and in this video we focus on the Beitou Hot Springs (in Chinese 北投溫泉) and how to get there! The Beitou Hot Springs or Beitou Thermal Valley are Taipei attractions (Top Taipei Attractions) and are located relatively close to the Taipe City Center so they are easily reached as a day excursion or a visit for just a few hours.
In thi video we show you how to get to Xinbeitou Beitou by using the Taipei MRT. Our MRT Train jouney bean at Zhongshan MRT Station (the location of our Taipei hotel).
- Take the Taipei MRT Red Line towards Tamsui Station.
- Before Tamsui Station, jump off the train at Beitou Station.
- At Beitou Station change train platforms to the train going to Xinbeitou Station.
When you get to Xinbeitou , exit the station and from there all the tourist attractions and directions to them are all ell marked and easy to find.
Attractions include the Beitou Hot Spring Museum (closed for renovations until October 2018), the Taipei Public Library, the Xinbeitou Historic Station, the Thermal Valley, the Outdoor Public Hot Spring, the Plum Garden, the Ketagalan Culture Center and the Yangmingshan National Park located 30 to 40 minutes from Xinbeitou by bus.
FROM THE SIGN AT THE THERMAL VALLEY:
1. Beitou Thermal Valley is 3,500 square meters, a depression formed before the volcano eruption. The hot spring here may reach over 90°C in some areas, and is the hottest spring in Datun Volcano Group. It was open to public to cook eggs and a lot of scalding issues occured and the hot spring was also contaminated. In 1993, the Taipei City Council decided this place should be administered as other water sources.
2. The hot spring comes from deep inside the volcano, and it is acidified with volcanic gas. The hot water rises to the earth surface and mixes with surface water to form the hot spring. It is called green sulfur as the water is light green, like jade, and contains a lot of sulfate minerals and traces of radium, a radioactive matter. After a long period of sedimentation, it crystalizes on the rock bed of Beitou Stream. It is then called hokutolite, Beitou Rock in Chinese, which is the only rare mineral named after a place name in Taiwan. It is only discovered in Beitou and Tamagawa Hot Spring in Senboku, Japan. Parts of Beitou Stream have been designated as Hokutolite Nature Reserve and public access is prohibited. The hokutolite is on display in Beitou Hot Spring Museum and Beitou Thermal Valley.
3. It is said the green sulfur spring has healing and rehabilitation effects. The hot spring is available to hot spring users in Xinbeitou and the Beitou Public Hot Spring, commissioned by Taipei Water Department.
We are also on Facebook and Instagram:
Wiki writes about Beitou, Beitou District is the northernmost of the twelve districts of Taipei City, Taiwan. The historical spelling of the district is Peitou. The name originates from the Ketagalan word Kipatauw, meaning witch. Beitou is the most mountainous and highest of Taipei's districts, encompassing a meadow with rivers running through the valley which have abundant steam rising from them; the result of geothermal warming. The valley is often surrounded by mist shrouding the trees and grass. Beitou is famous for its hot springs.[1] In March 2012, it was named one of the Top 10 Small Tourist Towns by the Tourism Bureau of Taiwan...
