Isa ang Beitou sa sampung lugar na sikat sa mga turista sa Taiwan. Mayroon itong historical spelling, at ito ay "Peito". Sikat ang Beitou for Hot spring's and base sa research ko sa mga Japanese people daw nag simulang mag karon ng Hot spring dito in the early of Japanese era.
How to go to Beitou districe
By Train:
From Taipei station almost 30 minutes lang byahe kapag nag take ka ng train and the fare cost is about 30NT$ (about 51.00PHP).
Kung mang gagaling ka ng Taipei main station, lakad ka ng 4 minutes then pag nakita mo yung Zhongshan station, sakyan mo yun hanggang makarating ka ng Beitou station then lipat ka ng train na papuntang Xinbeitou station. When you get there walking distance na lang yung Beitou park kaya mas easy.
By Bus:
Just walk to Tai Taipei station Zhan (Zheng Zhou) then sakyan mo yung 218 Danan Bus Beitou station then get off to Beitou Station 30 minutes din ang byahe if you take bus.

If you take taxi, 27 minutes lang ang byahe pero almost same din sa train and bus, 3 minutes lang ang pinag-ka-iba. But taxi is a bit expensive, the taxi fare from Taipei station to Beitou is about244NT$ (about 244.00PHP) compare to 30NT$ (about 51.00PHP ) fare in Bus and Train.
Where to go in Beitou district
Beitou Park
Otside the station just 2minutes walk lang going to Beitou park and ithink this is the starting line ng half day tour mo dito. Wala akong masabi sa linis ng park, napaka ma disiplina ng mga tao dito kaya napapanatili nilang malinis ang paligid.
They said this is the part Beitou river na makikita mo sa Beitou park dulo ng buntot ng Yangmingshan National Park.
Plum Garden Beitou
After walking in Beitou park madadaanan niyo rin itong Plum garden na nasa right side of the road, you dont have to pay for the entrance when you enter inside cause its free, you only have to remove your shoes and put it in the locker before you enter to tour around inside. They only have 1 floor for the tourist kasi downstair is restricted area na, only stuff can go down their.
This Gardern was built in 1930's and naging open lang siya in public last 2010. You can relax inside while sitting or just walk around and take selfies in their antique display.
Beitou Thermal Valley
Beitou thermal valley ay located next to XinBeitou park. Tinatawag daw ito noon na "Hell Valley" dahil siguro sa mga insidente noon sa mga turista. Pero now kilala na siya a Geothermal valley na mayroong mataas na temperatura hanggang 80 to 100 degree celsius. ipinag babawal ang pag ligo dito dahil sa sobrang init nito ay hindi na maganda sa ating katawan.
This is the most popular spot for Beitou travel kasi before tourist can boil egg here pero recently nilagayan na siya ng harang ng government to avoid some accident na pwedeng mangyari dito. So now you can just only take a walk beside the hot spring and take pictures in front. While walking there you can smell the not so good smell from the hot spring.
Thank you:)
