- Beitou Hot Spring Museum — A former Japanese-era public bathhouse turned museum; great for seeing original wooden bathhouse architecture, old photos and artifacts that explain how Beitou became Taiwan’s hot-spring town.
- Thermal Valley (地熱谷) — Steaming, sulphur-scented crater pool with surreal turquoise water; it’s raw geology up close and the easiest place to feel why this place is a hot-spring destination (don’t bathe here—it’s too hot).
- Beitou Public Library — That photogenic, eco-friendly wooden library tucked in Beitou Park; lovely natural light, quiet corners, and a proper feel for local everyday life and design sensibilities.
- Xinbeitou Station — The charming red wooden station building that feels like a movie set; it’s a neat historic gateway to the hot-spring neighborhood and perfect

- Xinbeitou Station — The charming red wooden station building that feels like a movie set; it’s a neat historic gateway to the hot-spring neighborhood and perfect for photos before you wander the area.
- Beitou Park — A compact green space with ponds, walking paths, cherry blossoms in season and easy access to museums and foot baths—ideal for a relaxed stroll between hot-spring stops.
- Plum Garden (梅庭) — A preserved Japanese-era villa and cultural site that hosts small exhibitions and concerts; atmospheric and a window into Beitou’s artistic and residential past.
- Beitou Story House — A restored wooden house near the park that runs exhibitions and tea-service events; it’s intimate, historic and gives a human-scale sense of Beitou life in the early 20th century.
- Xinbeitou Old Street / Hot Spring Street — The short pedestrian strip of shops and stalls near the station where you can grab street-food snacks, hot-spring souvenirs, and try local treats—good for people-watching and cheap bites.
- Public hot-spring foot baths and community soaks — Scattered by the park and main walkways, these free or low-cost foot baths are the most accessible way to actually feel the springs without paying for a hotel or onsen.
- Beitou Museum (北投文物館) — A small private museum in a restored house with displays on local history, crafts and everyday objects; quieter than the bigger museums and great if you like slow, close-up learning.
