Beitou Half Day Trip 🇹🇼✨
#chinatrip
We spent half a day exploring Beitou district while travelling to Taipei and this is such a quiet and serene destination to visit! It is just a 30minutes train ride from Taipei Main Station via red line, which is an easily accessible and reachable destination. We then took another train ride to Xinbeitou station which is nearer to all of the touristy spots. Famous for its natural wonder of hot springs, the Beitou district is full of hot springs resorts, public baths and even museum dedicated for hot springs culture, such a unique place to visit. Would recommend to spend a night at their hot spring resort, especially during winter. Some of the popular destination that we visit include the Beitou Park, Beitou hot spring museum, Thermal Valley and the beautiful Beitou library. The district is filled with lush greeneries and is really calm and slow paced! Lovely place to visit!
Aloft Taipei Beitou
Aloft Taipei Beitou was originally part of the Starwood Hotels group. After the Marriott Group merged with Starwood in 2018, it was all included in the Marriott group, and Marriott naturally became the largest hotel group on the planet!
Aloft is a young and lively hotel. Some people say it is a four-star W hotel. The appearance of Aloft Beitou is quite different. Compared with the surrounding mansions that also face the Guandu Plain, it is more streamlined.
When you step into the lobby, you will smell the classic Marriott fragrance, and a large wall of lights changes color.
There are nearly 300 rooms in the Aloft Beitou. The rooms are divided into two sides. One side faces Yangmingshan, and the other side faces Guandu Plain and Guanyin Mountain.
The theme of the carpets, pillows and curtains are all Pixels, just like the frame world of the movie "World War II". With bold contrasting colors and wooden bed boards, the hotel creates a lively atmosphere while also retaining warmth.
Pink gym cute. The gym and self-service laundry service are both on the 19th floor, so you can exercise while waiting for clothes.
Strolling around Xingyi Park
Xingyi park is located at shipai road, beitou district in taipei. It is a great place and nature if you are looking for a place to spend your leisure time. Once in a while you can also catch a glimpse of the infamous blue magpie bird! It is very beautiful, many people often feed them and take photograph of this beautiful bird. There are also many dogs and dogwalkers friendly.
On summer day though, the mousquites are quite an issue, so be sure to bring mosquito repellent! #tripblazers

Hoshikawa-tei, one of the few hand-soaking hot springs you’ve seen
When we come to Xinbeitou, it is an area where hot springs are very popular in the north.
If you have the chance, you must come here for a walk.
But if you can't find friends to go to the hot springs with you or don't want to spend too much money on the hot springs, there are actually many free places where you can go to the hot springs.
The most special thing is Xinchuan Pavilion located in Qixing Park next to the station
It’s very unique. There is a hot spring specially designed for people to soak their hands. It’s so cool.
The temperature is actually quite hot, but it should feel very comfortable in winter.
It’s a very different and unique experience. You can come and try it.

Emperor Spa, Hot Springs, Taipei
Today I’m a day off and winter is around the corner. So this is the best time to go to hot ♨️ springs. One of my favorite Hot Springs places in Taipei is Emperor Spa. Why is favorite? Because is cheap, good service, private rooms. And the price also included a food voucher. The portion is super big, and the food is tasty. The best to travel here by car, because public transportation is a bit not convenient.

The Beitou Hot Springs are located in the surroundings of Taipei. The water is very hot - up to 50°C. There are 3 main pools with different temperatures. The duration of the visit is 2 hours and the place is accessible by the metro of Taipei with a connection. Even Taipei is in tropical climate during the winter there are some cool days and this is the right place in this case.
#happynewyear
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.
Yan Nai Tang, one of the three famous soups in Beitou, one of the oldest Japanese bathing baths in the new Beitou Hot Spring Area!

In addition to the quality of the spring water, the building of the also has a Japanese nostalgic style, filled with a strong atmosphere of the people! Many Japanese people also come here to soak in the soup!
For the first time, this kind of sulphur spring hot spring, no jewelry dare to bring! Most of the pools in the house are original and relatively old, but the effect is quite good. This is also an unexpected discovery that I returned to Nanjing! It is highly recommended that female friends come to soak a "beauty skin" soup here!
The landscape design of the outer courtyard is different from Zen. After a comfortable bath, you can feel the tranquility from nature!
hot spring egg, is the unique food of Beitou Hot Spring, the sulphur spring hot eggs, what seasoning is not needed, fresh and delicious!

Beitou Library, one of the most beautiful libraries in the world!
The roof is a light ecological roof with solar panels to generate electricity; the building uses wood and steel, which can be recycled and reused to reduce the environmental damage of waste... It is the first in Taiwan. A "green building" library!
Taste this all-wooden library and you will find that it is not just a building, but it has already been integrated with the surrounding ecology!
has won numerous architectural and environmental awards since its inception, and was selected by the US website Flavorwire as one of the 25 Most Beautiful Public Libraries in the World in 12 years!
The library has three floors, with large floor-to-ceiling windows, and the light can shine into the room, so that people in the room can see the natural scenery outside!
The three-story balcony is planned to be an outdoor reading area. Looking at the park green space, breathing fresh air, and watching the book leisurely, even if you don't read the book, it is good to be in a daze!
Transportation: New Beitou MRT Station walks down to arrive
One of the sources of the Beitou Geothermal Valley and Hot Springs Museum
is the hot spring with the highest temperature in the area of the Dagu Mountain Group. The scenery of sulfur and smoke is like a dream, like a fairyland. Therefore, the name of "mineral jade fog"!
The geothermal hot spring water is clear, the temperature is between 90 °C and 100 °C, the water is acidic spring of hydrochloric acid, also known as "green sulphur spring", the hot spring water of the soup and the surrounding hot spring club is this kind of spring. It has different effects on joints, muscles, skin, bronchus and nerves, but remember that you can not wash your body with soap after the bubble is finished!
Beitou Hot Springs Museum, the second floor of the Tudor period in the English countryside!
At first glance, I thought it was the villa residence. It was a well-known hot spring public bath in the Japanese occupation era. Now it is the best place to learn about Beitou history and culture: Beitou Hot Spring Museum!
For the first time, I saw such a museum that introduced the hot springs in detail, from geological overview to how to properly bathe, or quite up!
The central hot spring bath in the museum, once the largest hot spring bath in East Asia, is almost the size of a swimming pool! The bath is surrounded by arched walls and is full of Roman public baths!
The most pleasant place in the museum is the tatami seating area in the middle of the second floor. It smells a touch of grass and enjoys the spring of the garden. The tired body and mind are greatly released!
Transportation: New Beitou MRT Station walks down to arrive
Taipei's best folk creation market: New Beitou Good Market!
is also a market, can be like a market, can also have a taste of the atmosphere, a good market belongs to the latter, the people present will feel the intention of the organizers. For example, the location is located next to the Japanese-style New Beitou Station, adding a sense of history to the market!
"Good Market", sponsored by Ari in 2013 from Yilan, has been stalling for five years, he hopes to provide hand-made stalls, a good market environment.
For the first time, I was exposed to such a "pure hand" market. It is said that all the stalls must be made by the seller's original products, and the wholesale products will not be accepted. This idea is great because it encourages the originality of artisans to support some niche brands, and for consumers there is an artistic enjoyment that comes from life, so that we can see the diversity of culture. This is the most worthwhile place for Taipei Wenchuang to learn!
The most striking thing is a dessert stall called "Island"!
The boss has his own studio, and each cake is like a piece of art. It is really pleasing! The plate is also particularly particular, of course, the taste is not said, all the stalls are long queues in their home, 20 minutes before and after, all the desserts brought out are sold out, great!
bought a strawberry cake, the last piece of the day was taken away by me!
When the box is opened, it is such a paragraph: "Use this island to give life-rich ingredients, desserts made according to the seasonal climate life!" Food can also be such a literary art!
Bamboo Lake is a lakefield valley between Dagu Mountain, Qixing Mountain and Xiaoguanyin Mountain. It is about 600 meters above sea level and is included in Yangmingshan National Park. It is an important Yangmingshan attraction.
Zhuzi Lake is famous for its sea bream and sea. After the middle and late May, the white romantic sea otter has come to an end, followed by purple and blue hydrangea, and the hydrangea planted in Zhuzi Lake has 7 to 8 varieties.
Diversified colors, such as pure white, pink red, pink, purple, light blue, blue and other colors. In the farmland where big round flowers and middle round flowers are planted, the color level is more rich and rich.

The Beitou Library, the architectural form of the boat-shaped wooden structure, is perfectly hidden in the scattered plants. If there is no enthusiasm for the uncle, even if it is close at hand, it is found that this is actually a library.
The round Roman fountain in front of the door has a history of nearly a hundred years.
The click sound of the shutter in the library has become a sin. There is no seriousness of the general library here, and more peace surrounded by green. Yes, it is a feeling of tranquility rather than silence.
Taiwans books are not only famous for Eslite, but also the Beitou Library. The Taipei Librarys Beitou branch under the Yangming Mountain was selected by the US website Flavorwire.com as one of the 25 Most Beautiful Public Libraries in the World. .
This library like the wooden ship in the green wood is the first "green building" library in Taiwan. It is built on the ground floor and on the ground floor. It is built in a natural and environmentally friendly way. It is said that in order to reduce the temperature in the museum during the summer and save the use of electricity, the hall uses high and low window design to generate convection, cool down and facilitate air circulation. The main energy source of the library comes from solar energy, and the turf on the roof is also specially designed to store rainwater for watering the green plants and toilets in the museum.
The most attractive is the atmosphere in the pavilion, quiet and focused. The use of large-scale floor-to-ceiling windows makes full use of natural light. The lights in the pavilion are bright and warm, and the wooden bookshelves are not high. There is also no feeling of crowding and squatting. Looking out the window, it is also a lush greenery that gives birth to the feeling of reading in the forest. The combination of woody and booky is a paradise for book lovers. If it is not time-critical, I think I am willing to stay here for a whole day.
Tips: MRT to [New Beitou Station], a few minutes walk. The library is open free of charge, open from Tuesday to Saturday 8
There are many bookstores in Taiwan and many libraries. The Taipei Library Beitou Branch, located under the Yangming Mountain, was selected by the US website Flavorwire.com as one of the 25 Most Beautiful Public Libraries in the World. Due to the all-wood structure, this library is extraordinarily warm, unlike reinforced concrete, which is more humanistic. The most attractive is the atmosphere in the pavilion, quiet and focused.

Escape to Beitou: A Day of Calm and Charm
#onthemove
#OnTheMove today brought me to the charming district of Beitou in Taipei, known for its soothing hot springs and breathtaking natural beauty. My day began at a luxurious hot spring city resort, where relaxation took center stage.
The highlight? The hot spring pools! The warm water and tranquil ambiance were perfect for easing away stress. And guess what? The resort even provided a convenient shuttle bus service to and from the nearest MRT station. It was a smooth and hassle-free ride, adding to the overall relaxing experience.
Afterward, I made my way to the famous Thermal Valley, also known as Hell Valley. Surrounded by lush greenery and steaming hot spring water, it felt like stepping into a fairytale. The mist rising from the emerald green pool added a mysterious and magical touch to the scenery.
Beitou is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to unwind while enjoying nature’s beauty. From the therapeutic hot springs to the scenic Thermal Valley, this day trip was the perfect escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.

Michelin Hawker Sesame Noodles!
#winhkflight #foodie #taiwan
MoonMoonFood is a Michelin Hawker awarded restaurant that is reasonably priced and serves jaw droppingly good food. As you can see from the photos, the restaurant is packed and we went on a weekday night.
What is guaranteed to give you a good time are these 2 items:
- Sesame Paste Noodles
- Chicken Soup
Both of these are a no brainer. Just order them. Give them a taste and youll understand why everyone, even on Google Reviews say that this is the best sesame noodles and chicken soup they’ve ever had in their lives.
The other 2 dishes are the pig skin and lu rou fan. But tbh they’re not really that amazing. Lacking a little bit of flavour and missing the kind of texture you’d expect from lu rou and pig skin.
I’d be curious to know what a Michelin Hawker restaurant would be like in Hong Kong. That will be one of the my bucket list items to do when I get the chance to head over!
