    A natural wonder worth visiting
    We came here in 2012 and did not get a chance to enter the valley to experience the mist and heat as it closes at 5pm. So make sure you plan and arrive during the opening hours. Of course, if you are too late it's alright as there are other attractions within the vicinity of Beitou Park. This time as we were staying in the vicinity we made it! The valley is a short walk from Beitou hot spring museum and about 15 minutes walk from Xinbeitou Subway Station. However, we walked from our hotel, The Gaia Hotel (Beitou), and got a little lost following google maps. The temperature at the Beitou Thermal Valley is very hot and steamy, with a strong odor of sulfur permeating throughout the air. The water in the valley is hot enough to boil an egg (water temperature ranges from 80-100℃)! The valley is full of mist and steam, so if you are looking for some photo taking, this would be the spot... if you can tolerate the heat. There's a quaint little gift shop at the entrance selling hot springs themed merchandise. They sell handmade soap made out of the hot sprint water, and make lovely souvenirs or gifts.

    a natural wonder worth visiting
    We went there on a Tuesday so there were only a few people around. It's something that you usually don't see, a natural phenomenon which makes you appreciate again the awesomeness of mother earth. Thermal valley is just a short walk from the MRT station. We walk through the park and you can also pass by the public library. We spent around two hours enjoying the area, then proceeded to Tamsui, just in time to enjoy the sunset and walk through Tamsui old street. Both areas can be access through the MRT red line.

    Very cool. Teens thought so too
    The hike from MRT was not difficult. Just use google maps and it’ll get you there. Very cool place and local food adds charm. It’s a nice spot to go as you don’t typically see this anywhere.

    The valley not to be missed!!
    This is a must-go place. As I have no idea what i am going to see at the thermal valley, i almost give up halfway, the walk up to reach thermal valley was moderately uphill. But as soon as i see the valley, I am glad i made it!!

Very interesting location but I would not recommend going in the summer because its scorching hot! Perhaps winter would be a better period to visit. There are some dainty food shops around the place as well.

It is not too far from MRT. It is free you walk on well paved road the see the white steaming smoke with strong sulphur smell all the way. The water temperature is high enough to cook eggs, that is what people says. But, we did not see anyone cooking eggs. Maybe eggs are too expensive nowaday.

Near public hot spring pools. The trail is a shirt, circular route around the river on a wooden walkway.

Don't expect too much. If you have never seen a thermal valley before, this is a good reference. Good enough to take pix and smell the air

Beitou is a thermal area, As for Hell Valley, it's been a favorite day out for many years for young people. The water in Hell Valley is very hot and steamy, with a strong odor of sulfur. It is a bit like hell. A favorite recreation is to boil an egg in the lake, then share it with your friend. Hell Valley is a 15-minute walk from the New Beitiou MRT Station.
