Beitou District is located in the northernmost part of Taipei City, bordering New Taipei City to the north. Beitou is not far from Taipei. It takes about half an hour to get there by MRT, which is very convenient.
Taipei's MRT is actually more similar to the mainland's subway, but the speed is not as fast as the mainland's. In most cases, they run on the road.
My friend and I’s EasyCard . The Easy Card is very convenient in Taiwan. It can be used on basic MRT buses, and it can also be recharged at 7-11 or MRT stations, starting from NT$50. However, there is no way to use the MRT in Kaohsiung that is stuck in . Please pay attention to this. Taking the MRT from Taipei Main Station to Beitou costs about NT$35, and the Easy Card offers discounts.
When you arrive at Beitou Station, you need to change to the MRT, which is only one stop away. After getting off the subway and walking for about ten minutes, you can reach the Atami Hotel in Beitou. The hotels around here are basically hot spring hotels.
Taiwan is indeed a world of motorcycles. When you leave the MRT station, you can see many motorcycles parked neatly on the roadside. We guess this is because working people ride motorcycles to the MRT station every day, then take the MRT to Taipei, and then ride the MRT home after get off work.
Beitou is a hot spring town, and you must take a hot spring bath when you stay here. There are two types of hotel hot springs in Beitou. One is the hot spring water in the nearby geothermal valley . However, because the amount is not large, it is only used by the nearest hotels and government-invested public hot springs. It is used by other hotels. The hot spring water taken from Yangmingshan . There are slight differences between the two, but both are suitable for human body soaking.
I heard that Atami Hotel is very famous in the local area, especially the dinner is very special. After checking in and resting for a while, I went to the restaurant on the tenth floor to taste the local food.
I don’t remember what it is, but it tastes pretty good. There is mayonnaise on the side, which makes it taste even better when dipped in it.
Taiwan attaches great importance to the use of serving chopsticks. Every dish is placed on it, and the Taiwanese themselves also pay attention to it. They always use serving chopsticks to put it into their own bowls before eating. Comparatively speaking, we don't have this habit with
, so we were a little uncomfortable at first.
The black beans are honey beans . They taste great, sweet but not greasy.
There are a lot of oily things in the soup, such as mushrooms, meat, etc. It must have been simmered for a long time, so it tastes very fragrant. The oil has been stewed out, so it doesn't feel greasy at all.
Taiwan is an island with an offshore area, so there is naturally a lot of seafood. Fresh and plump. Steamed shrimp is a dish that is probably suitable for everyone, but if you turn around, it will be gone.
scallops . It's super big and the meat is tight and very fresh. I didn't know what it was when it first arrived, but after tasting it I realized it was seafood.
Taiwanese people probably have a special liking for oil rice . We also eat the local special oil rice at noon, and we still have it on the dinner table in the evening. There are a lot of vegetables put into this oil rice, it tastes great, and because it is vegetarian oil, it doesn't have a particularly greasy texture. It is said that after giving birth to a child in Taiwan, everyone will be given rice and oil. The eel next to
is one of the most delicious on the table in my opinion. The sweet taste is very suitable for us Jiangnan people. The fish is tender and melts in your mouth. This suddenly reminded me of Genta in Detective Conan who always loved eel rice. I never knew how delicious it was, but this time it is probably understandable.
There are so many varieties of marine fish that I really can’t recognize them (in fact, I haven’t differentiated between freshwater fish yet, which is embarrassing), so I just eat them, as long as they taste good.
After the meal, I had a lot to eat, so I decided to go shopping at the nearby 7-11. Before I came to Taiwan, I had always heard that the milk tea drinks in Taiwan’s 7-11 were very delicious. I must try them when I go there. Look at me carefully choosing. Oh, there are so many varieties. Which one is better to drink? Let me choose carefully.
When you come to Taiwan, besides Taipei and Pingxi, you can also go to Beitou to stay and relax in the hot springs.
