The Charming Beitou 北坄 Hot Spring Was Actually The Witch Place Named By The Aborigines




The hot spring canyon is located in the Beitou region 北投區 between the Hot Spring Road 溫泉路 and Chung-San Rd 中山路. The location is part of Da-Tun volcano-active place 大屯火山群區. The canyon is foggy all year with hot spring vapor filling the void of the canyon. It is one of the great charming place in Taiwan. The aborigines named this place Pawu-Tawn (same pronunciation of Pau-Tau 北投) which means 'witch'. The aborigines believe the spirit of the witch lives here making this place charming and unpredictable.
