Why go

It’s also one of the easiest ‘big contrast’ outings you can do without leaving Taipei.
How to do Beitou well
Don’t overplan. Pick one soak experience and one gentle walk or museum. Then leave time for the best part: doing nothing in particular.
- Go in the afternoon for the most relaxed vibe
- Bring a change of clothes and simple toiletries
- End early—Beitou is about rest, not late nights
