After lunch, we walked down the road to search for Hot Spring Museum and also Beitou National Library. Before we reach our destination, we found a fountain about 2 minutes walk from the steamboat restaurant. Time for tourist photo!
Signage that showed us that we are going the right way. Pheww! I'm not lost!
The fountain! It is beautiful and the weather is good too. No more rain!

After spending few minutes taking photos at the park, we continued our journey to the library.
Keep walking! Quick quick quick! We have more tourist spots to visit!
Reaching the library soon! First, let me take a tourist photo with the nice scenery.

Disappointingly, we walked towards Hot Spring Museum. Tried to act smart at first. Went towards the building from our current location and couldn't find any entrance. We found some lost kids like us and then we realized that the entrance is at second floor. *SHY*
Flowers Flowers. =D
And a heart-shaped pond. Should be a hot spring pond -- look at the sulfur!!
Yeah! Finally we found the entrance of Hot Spring Museum! This museum was built in 1913 during the Japanese rule of Taiwan. Initially it was a Beitou Public Bathhouse, the largest bathhouse in East Asia at that time. (Information from Wikipedia)
My SUPER photoboom throughout the trip! SEE HOW HE BULLY ME!!! Spot me!
Ok, chased him out the photo. Me with my typical tourist photo with the sign.

We need to take out our shoes upon entering the museum. Oh gosh. It is a bit embarrassing as my feet was soaked in my wet Nike after the rain. Imagine the smell. LOL.

After spending about 30-45 minutes in the museum, we decided to continue our journey to the Hot Spring Valley! Before we leave the museum, take a photo with a tree first.
