Taipei Public Library Beitou Branch (photo stop)
Your first stop is Taipei Public Library Beitou Branch, also known as Beitou Library. Located in Beitou Park and near Beitou Hot Spring Museum, because of its sustainable design, this beautiful library was selected by the famous travel website “When on Earth” as one of the 10 Coolest Examples of green buildings. The New York City–based online culture magazine “Flavorwire” also recognized it as one of The 25 Most Beautiful Public Libraries in the World.

The unique appearance of Beitou Library also makes it a popular attraction for photography. So pull your phone or camera out of your bag, capture the view and make your travel memory tangible.

Beitou Hot Spring Museum
The next stop on your Yangmingshan tour package is Beitou Hot Spring Museum, which was built during the Japanese colonization.

The two-story Tudor-style building of the museum has a brick and wood façade, and black tile roof. The first level consists with a small bath and a large bath; as you walking along the arcade you can see the baths up close. Additionally, the display of “sento” simulates the facilities of a traditional public bath, where you can have an understanding of how the communal bathhouse worked in the past.

The second level consists with a huge Tatami lobby and a balcony with a special exhibition area where the early Taiwanese film documents are displayed. This is a good place to learn about Beitou’s rich hot spring culture and history.

Geothermal Valley
Geothermal Valley, the next stop on your Yangmingshan day trip, is not far away from Beitou Hot Spring Museum.

This place is also called “Hell Valley” or “Ghost Lake”, because of the sulfuric steam fog that it emits caused by the high temperature. It is also one of the heat sources of sulfur spring that supply the hot springs located in its vicinity.

Yangmingshan Flower Clock
Your tour to Yangmingshan National Park and Beitou continues with a visit to the Yangmingshan Flower Clock—the centerpiece of the national park, which is near the bus terminal and the visitor center.

The flower plants change by season, visitors can enjoy the bloom all year round. Every year during the cherry blossom season, there are crowds of people flocking to see the beautiful cherry blossom that surrounds the flower clock.

Yangmingshuwu (photo stop)
You will then visit Yangmingshuwu, formerly known Zhongxing Guesthouse. It was the summer residence of the late president Chiang Kai-shek for reception of important foreign dignitaries.

This place was originally an old-growth forest; after the mansion and its associated buildings were completed, part of the forest was still preserved. Today the mansion has become an important site for Taiwan’s history and nature conservation.

Zhuzihu (lunch on own arrangement)
Home to Yangmingshan’s calla lily and hydrangea, Zhuzihu is a farming area hidden away in the mountains. It was originally a lava-dammed lake created by volcanic eruptions; the geological factors and fertile soil making Zhuzihu a suitable place for farming.

Besides the seasonal flowers, Zhuzihu is also well-known for the mountain vegetable cuisine. Since you are here in Zhuzihu, don’t miss the chance to try the local specialties.

Xiaoyoukeng Recreation Area
After that, you will visit the most popular attraction in Yangmingshan National Park —Xiaoyoukeng (literally “little oil pit”), a post-volcanic geological landscape area.

The scenic trail around Xiaoyoukeng offers close-up views of the pit from different angles, where you can see and smell the steam coming out of the cracks, and the sulfur crystals around the fumaroles, as if you can feel the breath of a dormant volcano.

Qingtiangang
Then you will visit Qingtiangang, a vast lava terrace formed when the lava flowed north after the eruption. The terrace was once a ranch for water buffaloes grazing during Japanese colonization; even today you can still see the naturally bred water buffaloes there.

Lengshuikeng Recreation Area (hot spring foot bath)
The last stop is Lengshuikeng (literally “cold water pit”), a barrier lake formed by the volcanic lava flowing down from the mountain. The hot spring water is colder than the other areas (around 40 degrees Celsius), hence the name.

Before your Yangmingshan day tour comes to an end, you will enjoy a rejuvenating hot spring foot bath to relieve the tension and stiffness in your legs after walking for hours.

Drop off at Taipei

捷運忠孝新生站2號出口集合後開行程
早上出發前往世界上第一個通過「國際寧靜公園組織Quiet Parks International」認證的都會寧靜公園：陽明山國家公園，探索獨特的大屯火山群地貌，以及北台灣的溫泉歷史文化。

台北市立圖書館北投分館 (拍照停留)
第一站前往臺北市立圖書館(北投分館)，此圖書館坐落於綠意盎然的北投公園內，並緊鄰北投溫泉博物館。這棟漂亮且獨特的圖書館是台灣首座綠建築圖書館，除了被國外網站「WHEN ON EARTH」列為世界最酷10大綠建築外，還被美國Flavorwire.com網站評選為「全球最美25座公立圖書館」之一！

北投溫泉博物館
緊接著步行至一旁的北投溫泉博物館，此博物館建於日據時代，前身為北投公共浴場，在這裡能夠瞭解北投溫泉的發展和歷史。
作為一棟和洋折衷風格的建築物，這棟都鐸式(仿英式)雙層建築物，底層使用磚造、第二層為木造、屋頂則使用黑色瓦片砌成。

北投地熱谷
而後前往地熱谷，此地為北投溫泉的源頭之一，此處水質清澈，泉質屬「青磺泉」。泉水熱度極高，長年熱氣騰騰、蒸氣瀰漫，硫氣在高溫的水面上流竄，引起煙霧繚繞有如仙境一般。

陽明山國家公園

花鐘
花鐘，是陽明山著名的地標之一，因陽明山宜人的氣候，直徑長達13公尺的巨型花鐘，在一年四季都能欣賞不同的花卉綻放。

陽明書屋 (拍照停留)
接著前往陽明書屋，又被稱為中興賓館，前身為蔣公夏天避暑別墅和接待國外重要外賓的行館，現為台灣富有歷史意義之重要景點。

竹子湖 (午餐自理)
竹子湖是陽明山上重要的休閒農業區，近年來結合花期、自然風光與人文資源，在花季期間遊客絡繹不絕，最著名的就是海芋季與繡球花季。此地最初是火山堰塞湖，土壤豐沃地勢平坦，因此很快形成陽明山上少有的農村聚落。

小油坑遊憩區
小油坑為陽明山最受歡迎的景點之一，此處為後火山作用所形成的地形，在火山活動終止後，地底下殘留的熱能加熱地底下殘留的氣體，造成爆裂口成為噴氣孔，噴出硫氣與蒸氣，因此形成了地底貌煙的奇特景致，是到陽明山參觀的旅客不可錯過的熱門景點。

擎天崗
接著走訪擎天崗大草原，壯闊無邊的美景，讓來訪的旅客心情感覺特別舒暢，偶爾還能見到零星牛隻在草地上漫步，成為來此地的一點小確幸。擎天崗大草原在日治時期，曾被規劃為牧地放養牛隻，雖然現在已經不再發展畜牧業，但牛隻還是在此生活，也成為台灣人對擎天崗重要的印象。

冷水坑遊憩區 (溫泉足浴體驗)
最後帶您走參觀冷水坑，這裡曾經是七星山和七股山熔岩堰塞形成的湖泊。雖然被稱為冷水坑，但其實這裡的水一點也不冷(水溫約40攝氏度)，因為水溫和周邊泉水相比來得低溫，而被命名為冷水坑。到此一遊的時候，別忘了享受溫泉足浴，緩解一下旅行帶來的肌肉酸痛。
