Beitou Hot Spring Museum
The old bathhouse, now a museum. Closure days follow the site's current notice — do not assume a fixed weekday. The hot-spring park is outside.

The ravine park. The museum, library and baths are all on this loop.

Xinbeitou Market
The market by the station. One meal before or after the baths — do not go back down for Shilin.

Guandu Temple
A major Mazu temple in the north. Lots of steps — if knees complain, use the level side paths.

Guandu Nature Park
Mangroves and birds. Seasons follow the park. Not the same day as Yangmingshan.

Guandu Wharf
A ferry, when one is running, is the river view. If there is no boat, look at the wharf and do not wait it out.

Yangmingshan National Park
The visitor centre is the start. Flower-season weekends mean an early start. Weekday buses are infrequent.

Zhuzihu
Calla lilies and hydrangeas are seasonal, not a year-round carpet. Without flowers, walk the fields and eat.

Xiaoyoukeng
Fumaroles. Stay on the boardwalk. Hold your hat when the wind is up.
