Introduction

Beitou, in Beitou, Taipei, Taiwan, China, is Taiwan's most celebrated hot-spring town — a bathing resort since the Japanese era, rich in geothermal resources and distinctive sulfur springs. It holds the Beitou Hot Spring Museum (former public bathhouse), the green-building Beitou Library, Hell Valley (Geothermal Valley) and the Thermal Valley Park, where steam rises amid greenery and Japanese-era architecture meets contemporary calm. Stroll from Xinbeitou Station to soak, explore history, view scenery and taste hot-spring eggs — the face of Taipei's slow, wellness culture and a living lesson in Taiwan's onsen history.
