This hot spring public bathhouse, which became renowned as early as the Japanese colonial era, is designed in the rustic architecture of the English Tudor period. Its stable red brick wall, black roof tiles, and greenery create an ideal place for relaxation and leisure.
On the first floor, Roman arch columns surround the baths; sunlight passes through stained glass, projecting an exotic atmosphere. The second floor features Japanese-style tatami rooms and flooring, complemented by a faint scintillation of hot spring fragrance in the air. The foggy scenery of the bygone era as though reappears before your eyes. Through the efforts of locals, this heritage site was preserved and transformed into today's Beitou Hot Spring Museum, becoming the best introduction to Beitou.
Exhibits within the museum primarily introduce Beitou's history and development, including the footprints of the Kedahoran people, Datun Kiln, saltgrass, "Taiwan's Hollywood," Beitou stone, and the origin of hot springs. The outdoor theater outside the museum hosts periodic performances, evolving into an alternative community center.
The Beitou Hot Spring Museum not only preserves precious historical memories but also deeply embodies the sentiments of Beitou residents toward this land.
