The Beitou Hot Springs are categorized as green sulfur springs (Thermal Valley, 50\u201390\u00b0C and highly acidic), White Sulfur springs (Sulfur Valley, pH of 3\u20135 and a temperature of about 45\u00b0C), and iron sulfur springs (Upper Beitou, eutral carbonate hot springs, with a lower temperature of about 40\u201360\u00b0C).<br>In <a href=\"https:\/\/zh.wikipedia.org\/zh-tw\/%E5%8C%97%E6%8A%95%E6%BA%AB%E6%B3%89\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">1894<\/a> during the Qing Dynasty, the first person to establish a hot spring in Beitou was German sulfur merchant Ouely. The following year, Japanese Rear Admiral Tsunoda Hidematsu and Taipei County Secretary Nirei Keiji inspected the hot springs. On November 10, 1895, Governor Kabayama Sukenori also visited, and a public bath area began to form near today\u2019s Beitou Hot Spring Museum.<br>In 1954, Beitou became a legally recognized red-light district. The practice was abolished in 1979, and Beitou has since shifted focus to tourism and leisure.<br>In the 1960s and 1970s, the number of hot spring inns in Beitou peaked, with over 70 inns in operation. However, from 1975 onwards, the industry began to decline due to poor management, lack of public infrastructure, and excessive development. <br>In 1995, a local movement to save the Beitou Public Bathhouse succeeded, leading to its restoration as the Beitou Hot Spring Museum, which was designated a historic site in 1998. In 1999, the Tourism Bureau declared it the &#8220;Year of Beitou Hot Springs,&#8221; revitalizing the industry.<br>Beitou Hot Springs, along with Caoshan, Guanziling, and Sichongxi Hot Springs, was one of the four major hot springs in Taiwan during the Japanese era.<br>Beitou Hot Springs is a popular tourist attraction, especially with local Taiwanese people and Japanese tourists.

I was told both times that photography was not allowed. I can tell you that it is mostly elderly people that visit. Although the pools are heated nicely, you will notice that the water quality in some of the pools is not so great, with lots of dead skin floating around. Even though these are the cheapest hot spring baths in Beitou, you get what you pay for. Also, on weekends and holidays, this place can get super packed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/beitouhss-350-2048x1365.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3395\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>View from the outside of the baths along the Huangxi River in Beitou Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/beitouhss-351-2048x1365.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3396\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a washed-out photo of the pools.
