This area is not famous than Briton. But I prefer here than others. Because quality of hot spring is very unique. It’s looks like Tohoku district in Japan. There are 10 or more spa and all of them has large bath and private bath. This time we visited Sakuraoka which has private bathes. White sulfur spring. One hour include fill the bath with hot water and it’s enough time to enjoy. We would like to visit all hot spring at Xingyi district. Here take a 508 root bus from central market bus stop near the Shirai MRT station. And get off Xingyi 3 street.

There are a variety of hot springs in Beitou. Some are public, which are inexpensive and some are private, which charge a fee. Some allow bathing suits. The Japanese style onsen do not normally allow bathing suits. Many of the onsen-style hot springs date from the Japanese colonial era (1895-1945) when Beitou was a notorious hot-springs resort.

I loooooved this place. I did go only to the public bath, that was NTD 20 -as I understand they also have private baths for about NTD 1000 or so. This is not specially fancy, and I haven't gone to other Taiwanese hot springs to compare. But as a experience coming from the US or Europe: I can't recommend it enough. They have 3 big pools (very hot, hot and temperate), plus a steam room and a cold plunge. There were people, but didn't feel crowded. It just felt like a place well designed to relax. The hot was hot enough that going into the cold plunge felt great. Not just great -I experienced extreme relaxation, in a very deep level. People were respectful and nice. As the only westerner in the place when I went, people were kind and welcoming, but without being intrusive. After a long week of work, it was the highlight of my trip. They offered massages onsite. I was able to take the 508 bus from Shaipei MRT station.
