Beitou Hot Spring Museum Introduction
This public hot spring bath, renowned since the Japanese colonial period, features a countryside architectural style reminiscent of the Tudor period in England. With its solid red brick walls and black tiles complementing the greenery, it is an excellent place for relaxation and respite. The Roman columns on the first floor surround the bathing area, where sunlight filters through stained glass, casting exotic projections. The second floor features a Japanese-style layout with tatami flooring, accompanied by a faint scent of hot springs in the air, evoking memories of bygone days. Thanks to the efforts of local residents, this historic site has been preserved and transformed into the Beitou Hot Spring Museum, making it the best entry point for understanding Beitou. The exhibition space on the first floor is divided into four sections: "Public Bath, Beitou Stone," "Beitou Bathhouse SENTO," "Moments of Phrases," and "EXPO Hall." The second-floor exhibition space consists of six sections: "Impressions of Beitou," "Multimedia Audio-Visual Room," "Viewing Tower," "Taiwanese Cinema Hollywood," "Hot Spring DOZO," and "Tatami Activity Hall." The Viewing Tower is one of the most popular areas in the Beitou Hot Spring Museum, offering views of the lush Beitou Park and the Beitou Library, providing a place for visitors to rest and enjoy the scenic beauty of Beitou's mountains and waters after bathing. The Tatami Activity Hall offers panoramic views of the entire Beitou Valley and the park, with an open indoor space that is well-ventilated. The faint smell of sulfur in the air helps visitors deeply appreciate the beauty of Beitou Hot Springs. The Beitou Hot Spring Museum not only serves as a precious historical memory but also embodies the strong emotions of the Beitou residents toward this land.
