Beitou Hot Spring Museum Introduction
This public hot spring bathhouse, famous since the Japanese era, features a country architecture style reminiscent of the Tudor period in England. Its stable red brick walls and black tiles harmonize with the surrounding greenery, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind. The first floor's Roman-columned structure surrounds the bathing pool, with sunlight streaming through stained glass, casting an exotic ambiance. The second floor showcases a Japanese-style tatami layout and wooden flooring, accompanied by the faint scent of hot springs in the air, as if the warm memories of the past are being revived right before our eyes. Thanks to the efforts of local residents, this heritage site has been preserved and transformed into the Beitou Hot Spring Museum, becoming the best introduction to understanding Beitou. The exhibition space on the first floor is divided into four areas: "Large Bath, Beitou Stone," "Beitou SENTO," "Phrase Collection," and "Expo Hall." The second floor features six exhibition areas: "Impressions of Beitou," "Multimedia Room," "Viewing Tower," "Taiwanese Film Hollywood," "Hot Spring DOZO," and "Tatami Activity Hall." The Viewing Tower is one of the most popular areas in the Beitou Hot Spring Museum. From there, visitors can gaze upon the lush green Beitou Park and the Beitou Library, providing a relaxing spot for bathers to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Beitou's mountains and waters. In the Tatami Activity Hall, one can overlook the entire Beitou Valley and the lovely park, with an open indoor space that is well-ventilated, filled with a faint scent of sulfur, creating lasting memories of the beauty of Beitou Hot Springs. The Beitou Hot Spring Museum is not only a precious historical memory but also embodies the deep affection that Beitou residents hold for this land.
