Beitou Hot Springs for Jetstar
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 stream runs out of Thermal Valley (sometimes called hell Valley) and the colors make for interesting photos.
The Beitou Hotsprings museum, built in 1913, was originally a Japanese Era public bath house.
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.
The Beitou public library is a world class, environmentally friendly green building.
Marshal Zen Garden, so called because Marshal Zhang Xueliang spent many years of house arrest here, has beutiful gardens, a restaurant, public foot baths and private hot spring rooms.
