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.

Beitou is famous for its hot springs, some of which are near the library. I have a friend who lives nearby, so I have been there often. My friend loves books, she was a history teacher, and the Beitou library has an excellent monograph (book) collection. You can also read newspapers and magazines. The library is nicely constructed. It's well worth a visit. It's popular with older patrons, who like reading the papers. Youngsters enjoy the children's section.

A well organized layout and decoration for this museum here to express the history of aboriginal tribes in Taiwan. You can tell all the features of each tribe in every location. We are all immigrants from Mainland China in Taiwan. All introduction for tribes are in details. All information are useful and educational for parents and kids. A very good place for kids and friends to refresh the culture itself. Enjoy it.

The Beitou Museum was once the the residence of an upper-class Japanese family. As we have travelled to Japan several times, it's easy to recognise the architecture. It is still intact, including the ceremonial bathing area. Beitou was notorious throughout the Japanese Empire as a resort. Kamikaze pilots spent their last days here before plunging into Allied warships. The Japanese colonial era (1895-1945) left a profound and lasting impact on Taiwan, as this fine remnant of Japanese colonial culture shows.

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.

The first thing you noticed on stepping out of this station is the tall arch with Chinese roofs. Outside Xinbeitou station are hotels, shops and restaurants. We get the feeling this station is dedicated for easy access to the Beitou hot spring area. many locals and tourists visit the hot springs.

The famous calligrapher Yu Youren used to live here, and the tranquil Japanese style villa has well reflected his aesthetic taste. The local government has done a great job in both renovation and maintenance of the property as well as the trees/plants. When I was there, a special exhibition of the famous singer Teresa Teng (who died tragically in 1995) was being held so no photo was allowed inside the house. It was free admission, but you have to take off your shoes in order to preserve the floor. A lovely place to visit!
