tells the history of Beitou hot spring and provides various knowledge about hot springs.

Beitou Hot Spring Museum - formerly known as "Beitou Public Bathing", ordered by Daiji Jingcun, the director of Taipei during the Japanese period, and the construction of the Governor's Mansion architect Mori Yamamatsu, completed on June 17, 1913 (Daejung II), is a double-storey building in an eclectic style. It was also the largest public hot spring bath in East Asia at the time. The bath area on the first floor was made of brick, the rest area on the second floor was made of wood, and the entrance was located on the second floor. The bath was built using public health funds of the Taipei State Department at the time, modeled on the hot spring bathing site in Izu Mountain, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

Five-star recommendation. There are many white-haired old women volunteers serving in the exhibition hall of hot spring culture in Beitou. They are very glad to explain to you. They are also proud of their hot spring culture in Beitou. A 67-year-old volunteer from the Hot Spring Museum told us about the hot spring culture of Beitou. Taiwanese public bathhouse was built in Beitou in 1905 during the Japanese occupation period. It was opened to the whole people free of charge in 1906. In 2017, the descendants of the Daji family of Japan, the planner of Beitou public bathroom, were invited to donate cultural relics to Beitou. They were full of pride and confidence in the future cultural prosperity and development. Ha-ha! Beitou hot spring culture actually comes from Japanese bath culture. The cultural relics in the museum are well protected. There are not many tourists.
