After the 16-hour flight back to Taiwan, the first thing I want to do is go to the hot spring...
So I went back to Taiwan for about two weeks to visit my friends and also celebrating Chinese
New Year. I first took the flight from Philadelphia to San Francisco that was about five hours flight
and from San Francisco to Taipei that was about 11 hours so in total 16 hours. It was a long trip
and when I arrived in the Taoyuan International Airport I took the train from the airport to
Taipei. It was very convenient and it was clean and after I arrived I went to Yonghe breakfast
shop for breakfast. I ordered sesame flatbread with eggs and rice milk and a basket of soup
dumplings. They were very delicious and it only cost about 147 NTD, less than five years
dollar. The food was delicious and it was very affordable. After a great breakfast I went to
Beitou for the hot spring. Beitou was a town built in the Japanese period for the hot spring.
Long Night's Hot Spring. It was one of the oldest hot springs in Beitou and there was a monument
standing there saying the Japanese emperor's son passed by here. This bathhouse is a traditional
Japanese bathhouse. It is male and female separated and you cannot wear any clothes.
After the long flights and the traveling I really enjoyed the hot spring. The hot spring just
washed away all my tiredness, all my fatigue and I feel so much rejuvenated after the hot spring.
I feel refreshed and reborn and I have the energy to continue my whole day. I didn't feel any jet
actually I feel like the hot spring really saved my life after traveling. Actually in the hot spring
place I was talking to other people there. They came from Japan and I learned a little bit Japanese
before so I can still communicate with them even though my Japanese is very rusty and I asked
where they are from and we start talking. If Japanese came to that place that means that's
very nice place. So I really recommend going there going to the Long Night's Hot Spring.
After the hot spring I went to the Beitou Hot Spring Museum. When you enter the museum you
have to take off your shoes and they have closets for the shoes and they'll give you a number and
when you come back you just give them the number and take away your shoes and I feel this is very
interesting. When it was built it was the largest bath house in the East Asia and it was built in
the Japanese period and if you go there you can still see the hot spring place. In the past after
the hot spring people would go upstairs they have a place you can cool yourself down with the air
the fresh air outside and you can enjoy the view and the performance. In the hot spring place in
the past you can also order food there so it's like a very nice place to relax and also socialize
with others and the building is well preserved. You can still see the tiles on the floor and also
to to a Japanese restaurant for lunch. I had fried tofu and noodles and like barbecue meat. It was very delicious.
So that's the first day I had after coming back to Taiwan visiting Beitou and also having
some delicious food and I hope you enjoyed the video and have a chance to visit Beitou
