Beitou Hot Springs

Escape the urban intensity of downtown Taipei with a visit to Beitou Hot Springs, a volcanic thermal oasis just a 30-minute MRT ride away. In contrast to the metropolitan views from Taipei 101, Beitou provides a tranquil, natural environment. The area offers a range of public and private hot spring options, with public bath prices starting around NT$60. Its development into a renowned hot spring destination by the Japanese is still evident in the architecture and the Beitou Hot Spring Museum. Take the MRT to Xinbeitou Station to easily access attractions such as the Beitou Thermal Valley, known for its steamy, sulfuric lake, and the Beitou Public Hot Spring. The cooler months from October to April are ideal for enjoying the therapeutic waters, offering a serene counterpoint to Taipei's bustling city life.
