The predecessor of the Beitou Hot Springs Museum has undergone many changes. From the “Beitou Public Bath” (completed in 1913) during the Japanese Occupation Period to the post-war public bath that was once used as Zhongshan Hall, Parliament Guest House and Guangming Police Station, it was abandoned. The efforts of Beitou residents until 1997 were announced by the Interior Ministry as a third-class monument. After spending money on renovations, it was finally opened to the public as the “Beitou Hot Springs Museum”.
