When I cam
When I came to Taiwan's Beitou, I realized that the original hot springs also had their own museum. The building of the Beitou Hot Springs Museum itself is a former public hot spring bath. It was built in 1913. It was the largest public bath in East Asia at that time. It attracted the Japanese Crown Prince and Sun Yat-sen. The museum's architecture uses a Japanese-style wooden structure, but the exterior looks more like an English country house. The calm red brick wall is matched with the black tile and the green shade. It is a good place to relax.
The museum covers an area of about 700 pings. It is backed by the green hills. The winding path is quiet, the flowers and trees are sparse, and the style is novel and unique. In 1997, under the active enthusiasm of enthusiastic people, it was designated as a third-class cultural relics in Taiwan and was converted into the Beitou Hot Spring Museum. Today, it is not only a precious memory of history, but also a deeper reflection of the feelings of residents of Beitou on this land. The entrance to the
hot spring museum is located on the second floor. It is necessary to change shoes and put on the slippers provided by the museum before entering the museum. The central "Tatami Activity Hall" on the second floor is the place where people who have come here after bathing have a meal, rest and cool. The room layout, the Japanese-style floor, and the hot spring smell in the air, the old days, as if they are just before the eyes.
The view of the Beitou Valley and Beitou Park on the second floor corridor is quite attractive. Imagine that people in the past have a good time to enjoy the beauty after a hot spring bath. It is indeed a great enjoyment!
Next down the wooden ladder to the first floor, the most striking is the central hot spring bath. It used to be the largest hot spring bath in East Asia. Today, it still looks a bit grand and magnificent; It is a vaulted wall, full of Roman public baths, gorgeous and spectacular. The
central large bath is limited to male guests, and the small soup pool in the room is specially for female guests. There is also a VIP room. In the exhibition room on the first floor, we introduce the geological structure of the hot springs, the reasons for the formation, the distribution of the world's hot springs, etc., and introduce the famous hot spring scenic spots in Taiwan and the world, so that visitors can experience the ubiquitous charm of the hot springs.
