(Běitóu Wēnquán Bówùguǎn; 2 Zhongshan Rd; 9am-5pm Tue-Sun) Built in 1913 as the
Beitou Public Baths, this handsome building is a copy of the bathhouses in Shizuokaken
Idouyama in Japan. It is also a good example of the turn-of-the century fascination
among Japanese architects for blending Eastern and Western architecture and esthetics.
The exterior, with its high roof and chimney, was built to resemble a British coun-
tryside villa. Upstairs, wooden verandahs surround a tatami room where bathers once
took tea and relaxed.
