I made one major mistake during my stay in Taiwan; not spending a full day in Beitou, the hot springs region in Taiwan. Beitou has a lot of beautiful nature and many outdoor hot springs to relax your body, mind and soul.

I arrived late in Beitou due to a long day of filming downtown Taipei but was pleasantly surprised upon noticing a full blown hot springs bath inside my hotel suite. The water in my private bath was literally taken from the mountains and was so enjoyable that I fell asleep which is actually quite dangerous.

In the early morning I decided to go for a quick jog around the hot springs area along the river that runs straight through Beitou. There wasn't even enough time in my schedule to visit the hot springs museum since I had to take the bullet train from Taipei to Tainan at noon.
