What to Do in Beitou Taipei Besides Hot Springs

What to Do in Beitou Taipei Besides Hot Springs

Before coming to Taipei I got the impression that each of its neighborhoods is quite diverse. So, I thought it would be neat to stay in a few different neighborhoods while there, to get more of a feel for each.
