Beitou Hot Springs: A Famous Hot Spring Destination in Taiwan

Among the hot spring destinations in Taiwan, Beitou stands out for its proximity to Taipei, excellent spring quality, and recommendation as a health resort. It takes only 30 to 40 minutes to reach Beitou from Taipei with one subway transfer. Upon exiting Xinbeitou Station, there are numerous restaurants, fast food outlets, and various local food stalls. Based on a friend's recommendation, I stayed at the Hotel Royal Beitou. Conveniently located right in front of the station, the hotel features private hot spring baths in the rooms, allowing for leisurely enjoyment. Additionally, the hotel offers exclusive facilities for guests, including a large public bath, sauna, and gender-segregated indoor hot spring pools, making it a luxurious stay. While dinner is not included, nearby restaurants and a 24-hour supermarket make it easy to find beer and snacks. The breakfast was also healthy and satisfying. I plan to stay longer next time.
