Soak in the Hot Springs
#springitinerary Beitou Hot Springs is the perfect to just slow down and melt into relaxation mode. It’s super easy to get to from Taipei, but once you’re there, it feels like a totally different world. steamy air, mountain views, and that awesome hot mineral water smell floating around.
You can pick from public baths, super affordable and local or go for one of the private spots if you’re feeling fancy. Either way, it’s all about soaking in that hot water and letting your stress disappear.
There’s also a cool hot spring museum and a steaming river you can walk along, which makes the whole area feel kind of magical. It’s not super flashy, but it’s cozy, laid-back, and kind of the perfect lazy afternoon. If you’re in Taipei and want to treat yourself without going far, Beitou’s a no-brainer. Just bring a towel and be ready to chill.
