---Tourist Spot Introduction---

Geothermal Valley
This geothermal valley is home to carefully selected hot springs at temperatures between 80 and 100 degrees. The steam rising from the emerald green spring creates a fantastical landscape. You can explore the area by walking along the surrounding footpaths.

Located on Hot Springs Road in Beitou District, Pu Ji Temple is a Japanese Shingon Buddhist temple founded in 1905. The temple grounds house the Yumori Kannon deity, and it has been cherished as the guardian temple of the hot springs in the area. In 1998, it was designated a city-designated historic site, and the temple's simple Japanese-style architecture and worship ceremonies are still performed today.

Xingtian Temple, Beitou Annex, also known as Zhongyi Temple, is a Taoist temple built in 1965. It is primarily dedicated to Guan Yu and is characterized by its beautiful architecture and lavish decorations. It is deeply revered by locals and hosts annual events. While Taipei Xingtian Temple is primarily visited to pray for business prosperity, family safety, career luck, and health, Beitou Xingtian Temple was built by local residents and is often used to pray for safety, peace, and health in the area.
