BEITOU HOT SPRING MUSEUM
Located in Taipei's Beitou District, the Beitou Hot Spring Museum was originally built in 1913 during the Japanese colonial period as a public bathhouse known as the “Beitou Public Bath.” At the time, it was one of the largest hot spring facilities in the area. The building features a distinctive Japanese architectural style combined with Western elements. Its two-story design, paired with a traditional Japanese garden, gives it exceptional historical and architectural value. After major renovations in 1998, it was transformed into the Hot Spring Museum, becoming an important site for preserving the culture of Beitou’s hot springs.
Inside, exhibits showcase the area’s natural resources, historical development, related handicrafts, and local culture, allowing visitors to gain an in-depth understanding of this celebrated hot spring destination. The museum also features a restored bathhouse, soaking pools, and rest areas, recreating the bustling atmosphere of the past. It is a popular location for schools and groups to conduct historical and cultural education and is well-loved by visitors and academia alike.
Surrounded by a tranquil and scenic environment, the museum is ideal for strolling and sightseeing, making it the perfect place to experience the rich history and atmosphere of Beitou’s hot spring culture. Whether you are a history enthusiast or an admirer of architectural design, the Beitou Hot Spring Museum is a must-visit destination.
