Wanderlust (n.) Beitou, Taiwan

Wanderlust (n.) a strong desire or urge to wander 

or travel and explore the world

Beitou, located in the northernmost district of Taipei City, is renowned for its hots springs, lush green environment, and historical sites that can date all the way back over a hundred years ago. An interesting fact about the name Beitou is that it is originally called Kipatauw, meaning home of the witches, because many local rivers and ponds emit steams due to the geothermal warming of the hot springs.
Since the Qing Dynasty, Beitou has been well know for extraction sulphur, the main component in the hot springs in Beitou. These hot springs were developed during the Japanese Imperial Rule, because the Japanese loved hot springs and believed that the hot springs provided a way of healing diseases and pains. Today, Beitou features not only public hot springs but also a large variety of hot spring resorts and hotels. It has also become a popular place for not only the natives but also the tourists.
