Beitou Geothermal Valley, Yangmingshan Scenic Area, and Yehliu Day Tour (Hotel Pickup)

▲ Located in the depths of Yangmingshan's valley, the geothermal valley is known locally as Hunshuitou or "Ghost Lake." The perpetual steam and heat permeating the area evoke images of a terrifying hell. In the past, a man fell into the high-temperature springs and was scalded to death, earning the area the nickname "Hell Valley."

▲ During the Japanese colonial period, the Geothermal Valley was rated as one of Taiwan's Eight Scenic Spots and Twelve Wonders, and was known as "Sulfuric Spring Jade Mist."

▲ The Beitou Hot Springs Museum is located in the Beitou Hot Springs area of Taipei City, behind Beitou Park. It occupies the former site of the Beitou Hot Springs Bathhouse, renowned for its hot springs since the Japanese colonial period. In 1913, the Taipei Prefecture Government invested in the construction of the Beitou Hot Springs Bathhouse to enhance public access to high-quality hot springs. The museum boasts hot spring pools, lounges, a restaurant, and an entertainment room, becoming a landmark landmark in the history of Beitou's hot springs. It opened to the public after restoration on October 31, 1998, and is currently a Class III National Historic Site.

▲ Yangmingshan National Park is Taiwan's closest national park to the metropolitan area. Due to its latitude and altitude, it boasts a pronounced monsoon climate. The region's unique geological formations, including cone-shaped and bell-shaped volcanic bodies and crater lakes, create a unique landscape of volcanic activity. Xiaoyoukeng, a post-volcanic geological landscape located at the northern foot of the Qixing Mountain Stream at an altitude of approximately 805 meters, is characterized by fumes, sulfur crystals, hot springs, and spectacular landslide formations formed by post-volcanic activity. Arriving at Xiaoyoukeng, one is surrounded by wisps of sulfur smoke, sometimes shrouded in mist, and sometimes suddenly clear, creating a sense of being transported to the void.

▲ The numerous hot springs scattered throughout Yangmingshan National Park have long been renowned, becoming a significant scenic resource. Visiting Yangmingshan Park, visitors can also visit Lengshuikeng. Surrounding attractions include Milk Lake, Jingshan Suspension Bridge, Lengshuikeng Ecological Pond, Jixinlun, the Wild Peony Nature Trail, and the ruins of the Yonglai Mine.

▲ Located in Taiwan's Yangmingshan National Park, Qingtiangang is a lava terrace formed by the northward eruption of lava from Penny Mountain in the Datun Volcanic Group. The foster buffaloes from the past ranching era are breeding on site. Some of the buffaloes that were not brought back are breeding naturally in the areas of Qingtiangang, Huangzuishan, and Dingshan-Shitiling. Three herds of ownerless feral buffalo have now been formed, undergoing the test of natural selection on site. The population size fluctuates with weather and environmental conditions. The feral buffaloes have a strong sense of defense. If tourists get too close, even touch or tease them, they may attack by butting when they feel their safety is threatened or their calves may be in danger. To avoid accidents, please read the /Tourist Service /Tourist Notices and Prohibitions and on-site signs in detail.

▲ Millions of years of erosion and weathering have shaped this rare geological wonder at Yehliu Geopark. From the edge of the Yehliu Cape, the mushroom-like rock formations jutting out from the coast are particularly striking. Among them, the graceful Queen's Head is the symbol of Yehliu Geopark.
