The Xinbeitou Station is the only century-old railway station on the Tamsui Line, even in Taipei City. Made of a wooden structure, the carved brackets under the eaves, and the 3+1 combination dormer window produced in 1937 due to the station's expansion are significant features of the station building.

With rich geological environments of igneous and sedimentary rocks, the Sulfur Valley Geothermal Scenic Area of Yangmingshan National Park has many scenic spots, such as Longfeng Valley and the Huangxi Hot Spring Trail. Because the hot springs are acidic sulfate springs with yellow white water and a sulfur smell, they are commonly known as "sulfuric acid springs, " and they are an excellent place for families to enjoy together.

Most of the hot spring hotels, inns, and resorts in the Xinbeitou shopping district, are concentrated along Zhongshan Road and Guangming Road and near Beitou Park and Thermal Valley, each have their characteristics.
