Day 7 in Taiwan, was one of our best days so far. Ying and I woke up at our new hotel, and we decided to go on a quick day trip to Beitou hot springs, a famous area in Taipei, where there’s a natural hot water spring, and home to quite a lot of history, attractions and relaxing hotels. It was very easy to get from central Taipei to Beitou by using public transportation on the train, and it took about 30 minutes to get from central Taipei to Xin Beitou station. From Xin Beitou station, we walked over to the hot springs area.
2:15 Beitou Public Library
The first place we arrived on our day trip to Beitou hot springs was the Beitou Public Library. The library is fully in use, but the reason it’s popular to visit and it’s kind of an attraction is because of its unique architecture and its eco friendly design. We didn’t spend more than a few minutes there, but just looked at it from the outside and then took a quick peek inside.
2:45 Beitou Hot Springs Museum
One of the main attractions at Beitou is the hot springs museum, originally the original Japanese bathhouse in Beitou. It’s not a huge museum, and the price is free, so it’s a good place to just check out for a few minutes before moving on.
3:29 Beitou Plum Garden
I thought it was just going to be a garden with plums, but it was actually the former home of a famous Chinese calligrapher. The house was another quick stop on our day trip, but worth the quick visit.
3:52 Beitou Hot Springs – Public Bath
The time finally came to visit the main attraction at Beitou, the hot springs. They have many higher end spas and hotels with private baths, but I went for the public Taiwanese style hot spring bath. They didn’t allow any photography inside, but it was pretty nice and I enjoyed soaking in the natural hot water for a few minutes before moving on with our day.
4:54 Thermal Valley
One of the most famous things to see in Beitou is the Thermal Valley, a big pool of water that’s boiling hot and is the source of the hot springs for Beitou. The water is really hot and there’s not swimming so it’s more of just a viewpoint and a place to take photos.
While there, we met up with Joe, Raymond, and his Father, by random chance. They were visiting from California and were spending the day at the Beitou hot springs and were en-route to have lunch and go to another hot spring and invited us to go along with them.
6:32 Epic Taiwanese Country Style Farm Lunch
Along with Joe, Raymond, and his Father, we drove through the mountains and after about 45 minutes we arrived at a small local style hot spring where we were going to have lunch. They did all the ordering and we were soon faced with what was one of the best Taiwanese food meals I had the entire trip to Taiwan. All the food was home style cooked, and tasted very country style, and everything was delicious. I especially enjoyed the deer on the hot plate and the roast quail.
On Day 7 in Taiwan, we planned to just take a day trip to Beitou hot springs, but completely unplanned, it turned into one of the best days of our trip and one of the best meals as well.
Big thank you to Joe, Raymond, and his Father for inviting us!

My Son loves all things Asian. He respects the culture and sense of family. He even wished when our Ancestry.com DNA results arrived they would reflect Asian ancestry. My children are both adopted. English, Irish, Norwegian but no Asian.
A friend of mine took it upon herself to honorary adopt John in to her Japanese family.haha. John Joseph Brocato – Takahashi, IV has a nice ring to it. i hope one day our little family can travel all over Asia.
Hi Mark, love all your videos, but especially the Taiwan series. Regarding the goose, must have with Taiwan beer, perfect combination. Also want to add, my favorite dish whenever I go back to Taiwan. I hope you can try the next time you go. There are these tiny little clams called Asian Clams or Golden Clams (La-Ah in Taiwanese) best prepared if sauteed with basil and garlic. They are about the size of a thumbnail but the meat is sweeter than your typical clam. Of course you have to eat a million of them to fill up but thats the great thing about having them with beer. You can just slowly enjoy, have a sip. and shoot the breeze with friends. There are only a few places in Taipei that still prepare them this way, typically at a beer house or possibly a hot springs spa that has a restaurant. They are farmed in Hualien, so probably easier to find there. I found a similar clam in Spain called 'wedge clams' or Coquinas. Not exactly the same but small with a thin shell just like the Asian Clams. Ha ha… my vlog will be called Clamology! Anyhow, keep up the good work!
7:25 where is that restaurant and hot spring, I really want to go there
Son of a bitch. I see qwails in our garden
Super👍💯😋💖😍
What a cool facility.
Why do Dutch (like me) help themselves with nearly tasteless, uninspired, and little varied grub?
Great Video! Subscribed!! Planning a trip soon to Taiwan and would love to visit the rustic mountain hot spring resort but I don't see any info for it. Can someone please help?? Thanks!
Thumbs up

I enjoyed Beitou the most when I was in Taiwan. Shouldve stayed longer

Wow 😮 mark, that sizzling deer looks so good with rice, my kind of food hk style. Another awesome video like always… shout out from the desert 🌵 USA
nice day
Hello Mark! Been binge watching your taiwan vlogs and I enjoy them a lot! Quick question..which hot springs did you visit here in this video? How much was entrance and was Ying able to join (are girls allowed)? The food place is also in the hot spring property right?
Lol I had to laugh. I just watched the snail and slipper lobster video where you complained about the flower on the plate. There it was again 😀
Tea is also used as a dessicant to keep moisture away from the almonds. One of it's many uses.
What fun and the food yum. Usually hot springs make me so tired 😓 and 💤
You're the most popular food vlogger in the world…. Enjoy your Taiwanese cuisines..
Shout out to Ramon and Joe from Cali.
Taipei and surroundings are beautiful!
Thank you Mark, but this whole
Taipei trip is the most disappointing log
