Beitou

For a more leisurely pace, visit the scenic Beitou in northern Taipei. While Beitou is famous for its hot springs, there are many other attractions in the area that are worth a visit.

Beitou Hot Spring Museum features fascinating displays that reveal Beitou’s romantic years of ‘steam and mystery’. The museum is housed in a beautiful Euro-Japanese style building, which was once the main public baths in the city.

Geothermal Valley, also known as Hell Valley, is a natural sulfur hot spring where water temperatures can reach 100°C (212°F).

Another attraction, Ketagalan Cultural Center, offers insights into the Aboriginal culture which once flourished in Beitou.
