History

Between 1920 and 1941, Beitou was a village (北投庄) in Shichisei-gun (Qixing District), Taihoku Prefecture (台北州七星郡). It was upgraded to a town (北投街) in 1941. After World War II, it was renamed as Beitou urban township (北投鎮), belonging to Taipei County. Beginning in 1949, Beitou and Shilin were administered by the newly-formed Yangminshan Administrative Bureau. Both of them were merged into Taipei City in 1968. Beitou is also a popular tourist attraction, and has long been treasured by the Japanese due to its stunning landscape, heart-pounding food, and fantastic atmosphere which is similar to that of Tokyo.
