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.

양밍산에서 놓쳐서는 안될 곳이 있다. 유황가스 지구이다. 양밍산은 화산활동을 하고 있다.금도 지하에서 마그마가 온천수를 데우고 있고 유황가스가 피어오른다. 근처에 가까이 가면 유황가스 냄새가 난다. 마지막 화산분출은 선사시대인 6,000년 전이었다고 한다. 옆 구덩이에서는 고열의 기체가 물을 데우며 분출되고 있다. 수온이 95도 이상이다. 타이완은 환태평양 화산대에 속해있다. 국제화산학회에서는 양밍산을 휴면활화산으로 지정했다. 화산활동을 수도 타이베이에서 관찰할 수 있다는 게 놀랍다. 타이베이시 베이터우구는 온천지역이다. 지하철이 개통되면서 활기를 띠기 시작했다고 한다. 이곳에서도 유황가스 분출을 볼 수 있다. 흙과 자갈을 헤치고 땅에서 솟아나는 유황가스. 대형 가스관이 터진 느낌이 든다. 타이베이에는 이런 소소한 곳에도 휴식공간들이 있다. 나의 눈에 띤 것은 노천 온천탕이다. 족욕을 할 수 있는 시설이다. 무료이고 누구든 이용할 수 있다. 한번에 50명을 수용할 수 있다고 한다. 이용하는 절차는 따로 없다. 탕에 들어가기 전에 발을 씻어 주는 에티켓 정도만 지키면 좋다. 평일에는 300명, 주말에는 600명 정도가 이용하고 있다고 한다.

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...

What To Do in Taipei: Beitou
Location: Taipei, Taiwan
Nearest MRT Station: Xinbeitou
So here is another brilliant place to be whilst travelling to Taipei! This location is well known for its hot springs and spa.
Beitou has been well known for its natural resources and wonderful scenery for a long period of time. Since the Qing Dynasty, Beitou has been well known for the extraction of sulphur, which is the main component of the Beitou Hot Spring. It has two faces. Old Beitou is the area where the local people have lived and worked for over a century and is located around Beitou MRT Station and Beitou Market, while Xin Beitou (New Beitou) is the area around Xin Beitou MRT Station and Qinshui Park that was developed as a hot spring resort during the Japanese era (1895-1945).
There are quite a few places to see at Beitou apart from the ones mentioned in the video:
- Beitou Hot Springs Museum
- Ketagalan Cultural Center
- The world-famous Yangmingshan National Park
- Puji Temple and others
I think I was being a bit too optimistic in the video, Beitou deserves a full day of your time, actually!
So, that is about it! Feel free to share your comments and thoughts about the video or Beitou itself!!

台北 | TAIPEI VLOG: Tamsui & Beitou
Made my way to Tamsui/Danshui today by Victoria's recommendation. If you're ever in Taiwan I definitely recommend you go as well ! :) You're gonna have the most amazing tasting squid balls. Then since I still had a lot of time left, I decided to go to the Beitou Hot Springs ! Unfortunately I didn't end up dipping into any of the hot springs myself, but it was still cool seeing them! Ended off the night with a walk around Shilin Night Market.

VLOG | Taipei Taiwan | Beitou, Hotspring, Din Tai Fung, St. Christopher's Church | Day 3
On our third day in Taipei, Taiwan, we went to so many places.
First, we went to Beitou where we visited the Beitou Public Library - this place was divine! I wish I had my laptop/book. It's the perfect place to chill!
After that, we went to the Open Air Hot Spring but I was hesitant since it was a public bath and I'm not really comfortable. That's why we decided to go to Atami Hotel - we paid 600NTD for 1 hr, good for 2 people for a private bath.
We had our late lunch at Sushi Express near Beitou Park since we were really hungry and we just wanted to eat something ASAP. It was one of our fancier meals. LOL. Most of the food we ate were bought on the streets. HAHAHA
After which, we went to the Nangnang Exhibition area. We stayed in this area because we did not want to be late for the 6pm mass at St. Christopher's Church. We spent our time walking around the area and visiting Taipei Fine Arts museum.
When we were inside Taipei Fine Arts museum, I felt really tired and quite uninterested so I told Jed to just leave me at the canteen and go around the area since he really wanted to.
Around 4:45, we started walking towards St. Christopher's Church to hear the 6pm Simbang Gabi Mass. Simbang Gabi - is a Filipino tradition where you attend 9 days of masses; Novena masses.
After hearing mass, we hopped on a bus to go to SOGO where we found Din Tai Fung. Generally, Din Tai Fung in Taiwan has the same quality and price in Manila.
Our last stop was Shilin Public Market. Since it was our last day in Taiwan, we spent most of what's left of our NTD's to buy Pasalubong or gifts for our family and friends.
Taiwan was really amazing! Can't wait to go back in March 2017!!! :D

Beitou Foot Hot Springs: Sulfur Valley & Fuxing Park (Taipei, Taiwan)
There are three free foot-soaking pools in Beitou. Those in Quanyuan Park and Fuxing Park are “green sulfur” pools, known for the delicate, jade-green colour of their water, and said to be effective in treating chronic skin diseases, relieving aches in the muscles, and promoting the metabolism. The foot-soaking pool in Sulfur Valley is also known as the “milky spring” for its white colour, and is said to be able to ease pains, and also to be quite helpful for arthritis and nerve pain. The foot-soaking pools are open from 08:00 - 18:00 and are closed on Monday.
1) 155, Zhuhai Rd., Taipei City, opposite Yi-Fang Elementary School (Quanyuan Park Hot Spring Bathing Area Foot-Soaking Pool)

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.

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.

Walking Around Beitou (Taipei, Taiwan)
Walking around Beitou / 北投區:
• Historical Beitou Station
• Puji Temple
• Beitou Museum
• Liuhuanggu Sulfur Valley Geothermal Scenic Area
• Fuxing Park Foot-Soaking Pool
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.
In the early Japanese era, Hokuto (Pak-tâu) was a village at the entrance of the well-known North Formosa sulfur district.[3] Three Japanese extracting plants in this district produced about 200 short tons (180,000 kg) of sulfur monthly. The Japanese had already recognized the value of the village as a sanitary resort and constructed a Japanese inn with hot mineral baths provided by the sulfur springs. The hot springs have been developed to include aroma therapy, massage, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and excellent cuisine which complement the entire spa experience.
In addition to the waters, Xin Beitou's other attraction was the girls, and the area had the dubious distinction of being one of Taiwan's largest illegal red light districts. During the 60s, many characterless concrete hotels were built around the park area, and these structures remained the dominant feature of Beitou's landscape for over twenty years.
The late 80's and 90s, however, ushered in a new era. The government made a concerted effort to clean up the area, and the MRT line reached Beitou. As a result, the concrete hotels were either demolished and rebuilt or totally refurbished as luxury spas. In addition, many new apartments were constructed to accommodate young professionals with families who were drawn to the Beitou area because of its good environment and convenient transportation links to downtown Taipei.
