Taipei Travel

If you are an Onsen lover, you cannot skip this museum. The history of Beitou hot spring is comprehensively displayed. What the most interesting is that this building was once a bathing facility. You can still see the bathtubs. The entrance is free. It is a must see in Beitou.

I really enjoyed this museum. The exterior is very unique and detailed, and the inside was equally evocative of the areas history as a cultural entertainment and leisure centre. The museum had some very interesting exhibits on contemporary local craftsmanship, including pyrography (painting with fire). Details on the rich history of the area grab your attention, set around historic hot pools. Overall a very pleasant experience.

This is an interesting visit. The museum was converted from an old bath house. There is a video introducing the rejuvenation of the surround area. There are two floors but I am not too sure I see any lifts for those less mobile. The stained window in the old bath room is very pretty.

The main purpose of visiting Beitou is hot spring. This museum is a place not to miss. It tells us how hotspring is form. Definitely a place worths visiting. Only few minutes walk from train station.

You have to take off your shoes and wear slippers which are provided when you enter here. There are a few displays explaining the geothermic activity of the area. The old original hot spring bath is on the lower level and had an art display hanging over it when we visited.
