Step back into Beitou's glory days
This Victorian style building of red brick and white stucco is one of Beitou's most significant heritage buildings. It was originally a public bath house, Taiwan's first. The Romanesque pool and columns date from the Japanese colonial era (1895-1945) and have now been restored to their former glory. Many intriguing artifacts and information displays provide an insight into Beitou's glory days.

Nice little museum
Just a short walk through the Beitou Park. Pretty building with informative displays outlining the rise and fall of Beitou as a resort town, and various historical facts about the operation of hot spring resorts during the era of Japanese rule. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Free admission too

Interesting and free museum
This is a great museum to get some information about the Beito area - its history re: the hot springs. It is free admission and you take off your shoes on entry and are provided with slippers to walk around in. It is staffed by volunteers who are lovely and very helpful. The building is an old bath house constructed by the Japanese in the colonial era. You enter from street level onto the 2 nd floor which has a lovely balcony that overlooks Beito park and creek and also has a large room with a tatami mat. You can rest on the tatami mat. Downstairs are the old baths. There is a large bath which the men used and smaller baths that the women used. There are historical displays explaining the history of the house and geological explanations of the hot springs . It is now used as a cultural centre for displays and concerts. It is informative and a great place to have a rest and learn about the local area.
