台北旅游网

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.

走了大概 20 分鐘，到了地熱谷，聞到硫磺味，一些朋友沒有很喜歡那個味道。很快的繞了一圈。但是天氣涼的話，在地熱谷繞一繞會很溫暖！不錯的一個經驗。

地熱谷位在北投溫泉公園旁邊，是北投溫泉的源頭之一，因為終年瀰漫著硫磺煙霧，讓人聯想到恐怖的地獄，所以又被稱為「地獄谷」或「鬼湖」。這裡的溫泉是大屯山火山群內水溫最高的溫泉，硫磺煙霧濔漫的景色，如夢似幻，有如仙境一般，是日據時代臺灣八景十二勝之一。

前回の旅行では月曜日休業で見られなかったので、今回は日曜日にＭＲＴの剣潭駅からバスで北投公園まで行き、北投公園を散策しながら地熱谷まで行って来ました。どうしても草津温泉の湯畑と比べてしまいますね。

This is a short walk from Beito hot spring museum and about 15 minutes walk from Xinbeito station. The valley itself is quite small and when we were there there was a lot of steam rising and billowing across which made for great photos. It is green sulphur and you can see all the rocks in the creek tinged a green colour. There is a nice viewing area in which to take photos when you first enter the area and also a small waterfall. There wasn’t to much of a sulphur smell when we visited. There is a shop selling souvenirs and public toilets with some nearby seating available. It’s not as large or impressive or pungent as the hot springs in Rotorua -New Zealand but it is worth a visit.
