- John SuGaithersburg, Maryland79 contributionsVery cool. Teens thought so tooThe 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.Visited December 2023Traveled with familyWritten December 23, 2023
- SarahKuala Lumpur, Malaysia50 contributionsThe 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!!Visited January 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten February 14, 2024
- Patty Kanyaporn390 contributionsNature's Steamy WonderWitness turquoise hot spring pools bubbling amidst rocky terrain, shrouded in wisps of steam. Enjoy this natural wonder for free. Feel the heat emanating from the earth as you walk along designated paths. Keep in mind there's no bathing allowed in the Thermal Valley itself. If you're looking to soak in the hot springs, head to a nearby public bathhouse or resort.Visited May 2023Traveled with friendsWritten March 25, 2024

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.

Hell Valley has attracted scores of young visitors for as long as anyone can remember. It was one of the first visits I made when I visited Taiwan. The atmosphere is hot and steamy, with a strong smell of sulfur. The water is hot enough to boil an egg. To get there, take the train to Beitou, then the branch line to Xin Beitou. It's aound a 15 minute walk to Hell Valley.

Hell valley was interesting, more-so as I had visited the hot-springs museum prior to taking a short walk up to the thermal valley.The smell of sulphur was stinky, but the view was quite mythical. I could almost imagine a dragon coming out of the steam.....

Hell Valley has been a favourite destination for young people for many years. The thermal springs are very hot and steamy -- you can boil an egg in the water! The smell of sulphur is strong, and the steam wafts over the water. To get there, take the MRT to Beitou than take the branch line to Shin Beitou. From the station, it's about a 15 minute walk.

We took the metro to Beitou station and then had to take a special train to Xinbeitou station. From here, we walked to Beitou Thermal Valley. It was an easy walk. Just follow the direction and crowd. You could see the steam coming out from the pool. Nice place and free to visit. The natural sulphuric spring has very high temperatures. You can boil eggs here.

This thermal valley has very hot water -- it's hot enough to boil an egg. The steam wafts over the water, which makes it look spooky and there's a strong odour of sulfur, This has given it the soubriquet of "Hell Valley." You can take the MRT to Beitou, then take the branch line to Xinbeitou. It's about a 15 minute walk to Hell Vsalley.

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.

Beitou Thermal Valley is better known as Hell Valley. Steam wafts across the water and the valley smells strongly of suphur. It is indeed a bit like Hell. The water is hot enough to boil an egg. Hell Valley is easy to get to -- take the MRT Red Line to Beitou, then change for Xin Beitou. Hell Valley is around a 10 or 15 minute from the MRT station. Hell Valley is an interesting day out, it's popular with young people.

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.

May I know what is their phone number and do we need to make a reservation?
Written December 17, 2015
It's a district - there's no telephone number as far as I know from my last visit. I trust, the cheap unisex public one - no need reservation but the rest of the area the thermal onsens are offered in the hotels in the area, you can try to google one of the resort to check.
Gentle reminders: those onsens are male - female separated and you need to be totally naked to use the facilities - please check before you enter or pay your fee that the facilities require bathing wear or else. Some place also doesn't provide towels better to carry one with you or prepare to pay for rental or purchase a few.
