Beitou Hotsprings is a hotspring area originally developed by the Japanese. Easily accessible by MRT, it’s historical sites and hotspring scenery makes for a great daytrip. I shot these photos on assignment for Jetstar.

This geothermal wonder reaches temperatures of up to 100 degrees Celsius, too hot for bathing but the steam coming off the surface is great for photos.
