A Walk Through History at Beitou Hot Spring Museum

#chinatrip I never knew Taiwan had such a deep connection to hot springs until I visited the Beitou Hot Spring Museum. This historical building used to be a public bathhouse during the Japanese colonial era, and now it’s a well-preserved museum showcasing its fascinating past. The blend of Japanese and Western architecture is stunning, and the main bath area gives a glimpse into how people used to enjoy communal hot spring baths. As I explored the museum, I loved seeing the traditional wooden interiors and vintage photographs that tell the story of Beitou’s hot spring culture. It’s incredible how they’ve maintained the charm of the past while turning it into an educational space for visitors. If you love history and unique cultural experiences, this place should be on your Taiwan travel list!
