Welcome to Beitou Hot Spring Museum

北投的空氣是台北市最好的！因為在北投境內有許多山環繞著她，又有最好的溫泉，所以每天清晨有許多民眾前來登山、泡湯。

    With the best quality of air and hot springs, Beitou got its attention by a lot of people around to come for hiking and/or hot spring bathing in the early morning every day.

許多溫泉飯店曾經走過往昔酒家鶯鶯燕燕的熱鬧時期，如今成為時髦的溫泉度假飯店，提供給民眾浪漫又健康的休閒。

    A lot of hot spring hotels had once passed the hustle and bustle days with noisy Nakashi and twittering girls. But now, they have become fashionable hot spring hotels and resorts for leisure holidays and vacations, offering romantic and healthy recreations to the people who come here.

北投特有的~限時專送~摩托車，從早期接送飯店小姐，演變到現在接送民眾下山轉乘或買菜，也幫懶得出門的民眾買指定的零食，點心。

    Particularly, there’s a very special prompt delivery service in Beitou area “The Express Motorcycle”. It was brought into the business in the old days, for the purpose of carrying in and out young ladies for hotels. Till now, it has developed into a convenient transportation or even a shopping and delivering service to the public.

有品質的泡湯文化

A quality bathing-pool culture

由二樓走進這一座日據時代遺留的三級古蹟，換上拖鞋，雙腳先行感受到溫泉博物館與眾不同的寧靜舒適感。席地坐在大廳那一大片寬敞的榻榻米上，沒有空調的開放式空間，飄來淡淡的硫磺味。

When you step into the second floor of this Grade 3 historic monument, this heirloom from the Japanese occupation, and slip on the slippers, your feet will be first to feel the coziness and tranquility that make the Hot Spring Museum stand out. On the main hall's floor sits an expansive tatami, and a hint of sulfur wafts through the naturally ventilated hall.

整個溫泉浴場的設計，充分利用天然環境，讓四周美景坐收眼底，讓溪流聲潺潺入耳，讓山風習習穿過榻榻米大廳，令人不禁全身放鬆，懷想起一九一三年的午後......。

The Hot Springs Baths were designed to take full advantage of their natural surroundings. With eye-catching natural scenery to all sides, the soothing trickling of the creek, and the mountain winds whispering across the tatami hall, the feeling of total relaxation is overwhelming, and one's mind is whisked back to 1913....

「從這一個空間，我們可以感受到當時人泡溫泉是非常有『品質』的，」隨著北投溫泉的再復甦，附近超高大樓林立，正一點點遮去了北投溫泉博物館當初「設計」的好風景。

You can really tell from this room that the spring bathers here were of very high quality, the way the nearby trees have grown taller than the building since its renovation, slowly obscuring the scenery that was part of the Museum building's original design.

An Introduction of Beitou Hot Spring

北投座落於台灣北部大屯山火山匯集之處,目前火山活動早已停止,但”後火山”活動仍很旺盛。這種後火山活動產生了噴氣、溫泉、地震等現象。也就因此造就了北投”溫泉鄉”的美名

Situated at the Tatun Mountains, Northern part of Taiwan, Beitou got its reputation of “Hot Spring Village” because this mountain has a lot of volcanoes, currently most volcanoes are not active for many years, but the so called “post-volcanic” activities are still obvious every day, such as: steam air eruption, earthquake and hot spring.

北投溫泉的名稱與成分大約可分為：

白磺：為酸性硫磺鹽泉,出現大多在惇敘高中西側谷地,從地下噴氣而出,再由人工注水加熱,以各式導管接出使用,本區名為：硫磺谷。另外在龍鳳谷也有這種類型的溫泉。                        

鐵磺：中性碳酸鹽泉,位於頂北投地區,名為龍鳳谷,泉水自然流出,溫度在45度C→60度C,行義路許多業者引用此水經營溫泉餐旅館。

青磺：為酸性硫酸鹽氯化物泉,位於”地熱谷”,水質清澈呈青綠色,具強烈腐蝕性,含有微量放射性元素,據說這種溫泉對於有風濕或關節炎的患者特別有舒緩的療效!著名的”北投石”即產於此地,水溫能 達80度C→100度C,新北投地區大多使用此水。

Green Sulfur: At the" Geothermal Valley" or nickname as" Hell Valley", the hot spring turns out clear, with a hint of blue-green color, contains traces of radioactive elements,  temperature can goes up to 80C~100C.
