Beitou and hot spring


If you stay in Taipei, Beitou is totally worth a half-day trip. Easily accessible by metro, passengers must Beitou station and change to another train to Xin Beitou station. From there, every touristic spots are within walking distance.

believe it or not but this a library, Beitou library 
if there is a library as such nearby where I stay, I would visit it everyday
There are many hot springs, both indoor and outdoor, but they are either too hot and not suitable for bathing,
or require an entrance fee. Outdoor hot springs are cheaper but swimming suit is necessary.
Some random but not ordinary waterfall in Beitou, the water comes out from hot spring, so it is warm.
In Beitou, even the water in the drains is warm.
