Beitou Hot Spring Museum, Taipei, Taiwan♨️

[Trip Moment Delivery.🗞️] Let's go to Beitou Hot Spring Museum on this trip!!✈️ 🛄ㅣBeitou Hot Spring Museum(北投溫泉博物館)🏛 I wanted to have a special experience on this trip abroad, so I visited Beitou Hot Spring Museum in Taiwan. Taiwan is famous for its hot springs, and among them, the Beitou area is rich in natural hot springs, so there are many hot spring facilities and museums!! As soon as I entered the museum entrance, I felt like I had traveled back in time. The building itself was a Japanese-style building built in 1913, so it had an old atmosphere. The red brick and wood exterior caught my eye, and before entering, I had to take off my shoes and change into indoor slippers. When I went inside, the first thing I saw in the lobby on the first floor was the spacious public bath (大浴場). It is not filled with water now, but it has been restored to its original state, so I could feel the atmosphere of the old public bathhouse. The sunlight coming in from the ceiling softly illuminates the marble bathtub, and it was amazing to imagine how people used to enjoy the hot springs here in the past.😆 The museum consists of the first and second floors. The first floor is where the hot springs were, and the second floor is where various exhibits related to the history of hot springs are displayed. When I went up to the second floor, there was an exhibit explaining the effects of hot springs and the geological characteristics of the Beitou region. In particular, a rare mineral called “Hokuto Stone” was discovered in the Beitou region, and the hot spring water containing this mineral is said to be good for skin health. It is said that this is why Beitou hot springs became even more famous. In addition, the materials on how hot spring culture developed during the Japanese colonial period and how Taiwanese people enjoyed hot springs were also interesting. Looking at old photos and records, I recalled the people who visited here in the past, and it felt even more vivid!!😀 This museum is not just a tourist attraction, but a place where you can deeply understand Taiwan's hot spring culture. Even if you don't actually experience hot springs, if you visit here, you will realize that hot springs are more than just a bath.♨️ If you are planning a trip to Taiwan, be sure to visit the Beitou Hot Spring Museum!🫠 📌ㅣAddress: No. 2, Zhongshan Rd, Beitou District, Taipei City, Taiwan 112 #Overseas travel #Beitou #taipei #TaiwanTaipei #Taipei travel

Beitou Half-Day Trip Guide | Hot Springs and Strolls: Little Pleasures in Taipei's Suburbs If you only have half a day left and want to experience Taipei's laid-back side, Beitou is a must-do! Starting from Xinbeitou MRT Station, we'll explore popular attractions like the Beitou Hot Springs Museum and Geothermal Valley along the way. This is a chill, relaxing city getaway—even if it's a spur-of-the-moment trip, it's easy to pull off! Itinerary Highlights This itinerary is perfect for those who prefer a slower pace. Admission to the Hot Springs Museum is free, allowing you to experience Taiwanese hot spring culture without paying. The Geothermal Valley offers rich steam, hot spring water, and hand baths. Just a reminder: don't forget to bring a small towel to soak your hands while enjoying the ritual! The entire route connects to various attractions on foot, making it perfect for those who want to explore more in a short time! Beitou Half-Day Itinerary Summary 1. Xinbeitou MRT Station This is a super convenient starting point! Take the MRT Tamsui-Xinyi Line and exit Xinbeitou Station, and you'll find the old Beitou neighborhood. Nearby, you can easily take photos of the arty art installations within the station. Comfortable shoes are recommended, as the route involves extensive walking. 2. Beitou Hot Springs Museum 📍Address: No. 2, Zhongshan Road, Beitou District, Taipei City ⏰Opening Hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM (Closed Mondays and public holidays) A must-see before soaking in the hot springs! The old Japanese-style bathhouse is a truly retro experience, and you can learn more about hot spring culture for free. There are frequent cultural and historical exhibitions, so plan to spend 30-45 minutes exploring! 3. Geothermal Valley 📍Address: Near the intersection of Zhongshan Road and Tangquan Road, Beitou District, Taipei City ⏰Opening Hours: 9:00 AM–5:00 PM The birthplace of Beitou Hot Springs! The air is filled with steam and the aroma of sulfur. You can even try the "hand bath"—soaking your hands in the warm water is incredibly soothing! There's a free foot bath nearby, but the water is a bit warm, so test it out before diving. Practical Tips and Experience Sharing 1. The Hot Spring Museum is free. If you're visiting on a holiday, some exhibitions may have limited capacity, so arrive early to avoid disappointment. 2. The Geothermal Valley hand bath is incredibly popular, so bring a small towel for hand wiping and photo ops. It's not suitable for foot baths, so only hands are allowed. 3. Beitou is dotted with hot spring hotels and old street food stalls. Explore the area while strolling—I personally recommend trying the authentic Beitou steamed buns! 4. Important reminder: The steam area of ​​the Geothermal Valley is slippery, so please be mindful of your footing. 5. This entire route is entirely on foot, and while it's comfortable, please wear good walking shoes to avoid losing your spirit. Getting There: Take the MRT Tamsui-Xinyi Line directly to Xinbeitou Station. From there, you can walk to all the main attractions. If you're looking for a last-minute full-body hot spring bath, there are numerous hot spring baths nearby. Make reservations online at trip.com. During peak times, it's best to arrive early! #BeitouHalfDayTour #TaipeiShortTrip #HotSpringCulture #GeothermalValleyHandBath #AlongTaipeiMRTLine
