Taipei Travel

A sign was posted at the XinBeitou Station stating that the Beitou Hot Springs Museum is closed for renovations from from Sep04, 2017 to Oct26, 2018. From the outside, it looks like major reno. We'll have to come back after Oct 2018 for a visit.

The Beitou Hot Spring Museum is a very good museum situated in the Beitou Park, just behind the Beitou Library. To go there, take the metro until the Xinbeitou station. In front of the station, upon exiting, you will see the park. The museum explains many things about the history of Beitou as a thermal part of town. It is very informative. The building is an ancient bath-house. If you are interested in the hot-spring culture, you don't have to miss that!

I wonder if this real or man made hot spring. It is really too crowded and concern if it is hygienic.

This is one of my favourite things in Taipei, you can just go to the second floor tatami room and relax there with the warm Taipei breeze blowing all around you. I came back here in November 2017 and it is closed for renovation until next year!!! Such a pity!

There are a lot of information on the Japanese colonial era in this museum, although it is not a very big museum. It is very impressive that it has been preserved in such a good condition although many people visit this museum on a daily basis. Do take note that you would need to remove your shoes to step into this museum. Entrance is free, so do drop by if you have the time.
