It's been two years since I last visited Beitou with my family. The last time, we went to the library, but this time we decided to visit the Beitou Hot Spring Museum. There are two things that attract me about the Beitou Hot Spring Museum: the tatami-floored grand hall, which was once used for guests to rest after bathing, and the stained-glass windows next to the large bath. When the Beitou Hot Spring Museum was first opened, the tatami-floored grand hall was open to visitors. Sitting on the tatami mats really makes you feel like you're part of the history of the entire Beitou Hot Spring Museum. The stained-glass windows are said to have been designed for guests to enjoy while bathing. Imagine soaking in the hot springs while admiring the colorful glass that is illuminated by the golden sunset. All the fatigue of the day will instantly melt away.
I used my portable digital single-lens reflex zoom combination, Canon EOS 30D + Canon EF 24-85mm f3.5~4.5 USM.
距上次和家人一起到北投已經有兩年了，上次逛了圖書館，這次改逛溫泉博物館。溫泉博物館有兩處吸引我的地方，一是當年泡湯後供客人休息的塌塌米大會堂，另一個則是大浴池旁的彩繪玻璃。溫泉博物館早年開放時，塌塌米大會堂是可以進入參觀的，坐在塌塌米上其實更仁讓人覺得與整個溫泉博物館的歷史融為一體。彩繪玻璃據說是設計給泡湯的客人觀賞的，想像泡溫泉的同時欣賞著金色夕陽透射的彩色玻璃，一整天的疲勞瞬間消失殆盡。我的隨身數位單眼變焦組合 Canon EOS 30D + Canon EF 24-85mm f3.5~4.5 USM。
