Dear reader: This article contains links to products and services that I may be compensated for, at no extra cost to you.
The Beitou Hot Spring (or Xinbeitou hot spring) area is hands down my favorite neighborhood in Taipei, and I’ve probably been there over 20 times. In fact, my wife and I went on our first date there after we met in Taipei 10 years ago!
Below I’ll cover everything you need to know about Taipei City’s only hot spring village, including the history of Beitou, things to do in Beitou (such as Beitou Thermal Valley and Beitou Library), my Beitou hot spring recommendations (public and private), best Beitou hot spring resort/hotels, and Beitou restaurants.
Beitou is high on my lists of best things to do in Taipei[1] and best things to do in Taiwan[2]. Find out how to fit it into your trip by consulting my recommended Taipei itinerary[3] and Taiwan itinerary[4]. Also see my guide to the best hotels in Taipei[5], which includes a section on Beitou.
