Taipei Beitou can be played like this❗️

#100 Ways to Travel Beitou, a suburb of Taipei, is well-known for its hot spring culture. It is also a popular place for locals to take a bath and keep warm during the cold winter. Although it was a hot summer this time, I still took the time to take the half-hour MRT north to experience the backyard of Taipei people with an always exploring mentality. ⭐️Beitou Hot Spring Museum: Originally a public bathhouse built during the Japanese occupation in 1913. Its architectural style combines the features of Japanese wooden structures and English country villas. It is backed by green mountains and the surrounding environment is elegant and tranquil. Tickets are free, but you need to take off your shoes to enter. In 1998, it was officially opened to the public after maintenance and renovation and became the Beitou Hot Spring Museum. The interior fully displays the local hot spring history, development process and scientific knowledge through illustrated display boards and exquisite installations. It is very ornamental and embodies the power of bottom-up community building. The museum's indoor highlights are the central hot spring bath on the underground floor and the large Japanese-style platform on the second floor. Well-preserved original design elements such as Romanesque arches and stained glass windows can be seen everywhere, creating a very relaxing atmosphere. ⭐️Geothermal Valley: After leaving the Beitou Hot Spring Museum, you can walk along the greenway to the Geothermal Valley, a unique natural landscape site in the area and one of the sources of the Beitou Hot Springs. White sulfur smoke rises all year round, adding a layer of mystery. It is worth mentioning that the employees of the souvenir shop near the entrance of the geothermal valley are basically all disabled people. Under the guidance of ordinary employees, they provide beverage making and specialty introduction services to tourists, reflecting the original intention of local integrated employment. ⭐️Transportation: Take the MRT Tamsui Xinyi Line to Beitou Station and then transfer to the Xinbeitou Branch Line to Xinbeitou Station. It takes only five minutes to walk to your destination. #Taipei #Beitou #Beitou Hot Springs #Beitou Hot Springs Museum
