北投溫泉
Special Feature 特色寫真
magine soaking at a naturally formed hot
springs pool with the steam rising from
valley below in cold weather. Sounds like
Heaven! In 1896, the Japanese built the first
hot springs hotel in Taiwan called "Tengu
Um house" in Bai Tou. They wanted to
provide a place for the Japanese soldiers
similar to the hot springs bath they had at
home. It is still in business after all these
years, but the name has changed to
"Takimoto". A small monument stands in the
front yard to commemorate the visit from
the Crown Prince of Japan in 1923. Since it
was built by Japanese, the architecture is
quite unique when compared with the other
large spa hotels in the area. In "Takimoto",
there are separated baths for men and
women. The naturally formed hot springs
bath is very attractive to the visitors
historically. Plus the low fee makes you want
to return like the local regular visitors do.
What's your first hot spring experience?
你的第一次溫泉體驗是什麼?
I went to a hot springs last winter. It was
only 8 degrees Celsius outside. It was so
cold. I took off my clothes and went in the
hot springs pool. The pool's natural
temperature was 42 degrees Celsius. When I
frst went in, it felt too hot, but soon it felt so
good.
我去年天去泡溫泉。當時戶外溫度只有攝
8 度。好冷。我脫下衣,進入溫泉池。池的
自然溫度為攝 2 度。進到裡的第一秒鐘覺
得燙得受不了,但是很快的就覺得很舒服。
2 Well, my first experience was with a
tourist group. We had to wear swimming
suits. There were so many people in the pool
that I felt that we were like dumplings
cooking in a big hot pot.
怎麼說呢,我的第一個經驗是和旅遊團一起
的。們必需要穿泳衣。當時有很多的人。
只是覺得我們像在大火鍋裡煮水餃一樣。
3 The first time I went to a hot springs pool. I
was the only young girl in there. As soon as I
got in the water, someone in the pool
needed to be rescued because she was
having a heart attack! It was scary.
我第一次去溫泉池時,我當時是池裡最年輕
的女生。一進入池裡,就看到有人在池裡需
要被急救,因為她當時心臟病發作!真可
怕。

Bai Tou Hot Springs area is worth a day tour
with many famous tourist places. The New
Bei Tou Hot Springs Museum is only about
three minutes away from MRT. In the
museum, you will see the hot springs culture
and history. Not far away from the Hot
Springs Museum, there is an open-air
Japanese-style public hot springs pool. It is
an inexpensive way to experience the
traditional Japanese open-air hot spring
pool. In the Hot Springs Water Park, there is
a Japanese-style wooden bridge and gazebo.
There is also a free hot springs "foot spa"
area so that visitors can really get into
water. The Taipei Public Library Bei Tou
Branch is Taiwans first green library building.
The building is designed to be environment
friendly with solar power and a rainwater
recycling system. Of course, you should try
the local food for your day trip. Bei Tou's "Jiu
Jia Cai" ('special restaurant food") is very
unique. There were a lot of exclusive
restaurants in the 1950s, and wealthy
politicians and business people came here to
drink and entertain guests and business
associates. The menu slowly developed into
luxurious gourmet Chinese dishes.
