The oldest surviving bathhouse in Beitou’s hot springs district, established around 1907 and named after the second waterfall (二瀧) on the stream out front. The original men’s pool, built from local Qiligan stone (唭哩岸石), has survived over a century of the highly acidic green sulfur spring (青磺泉) it contains. Originally a military bathing facility, it was sold to the Lín family around 1950, who added a women’s bath and have operated it for three generations since. It is still in operation as of 2026. Also known as Longnaitang in Mandarin Chinese and Long Nice Hot Spring in English.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
