The city-backed Beitou Roaming electronic package went on sale on 15 September 2026. It combines admission to Beitou Museum, an NT$100 voucher at the Xinbeitou Historic Station shop and a hot-spring foot-bath experience at Marshal Zen Garden. Taipei announced limited launch batches at NT$299 through designated travel platforms and NT$320 through the official Taipei Fun Pass store. Quantities are limited, so check the live listing before planning your day around the discount.
What is in the Beitou Roaming package?
Taipei City's Department of Information and Tourism describes the new product as a “Beitou cultural slow day trip”. Rather than trying to cover every attraction in the district, it links three very different Beitou experiences into one electronic ticket: Beitou Museum admission, a NT$100 shop voucher at Xinbeitou Historic Station, and a hot-spring foot bath at Marshal Zen Garden.
The standard combined value announced by the city is NT$460. At launch, Klook, KKday and other designated travel platforms were allocated 600 discounted packages at NT$299, while the official Taipei Fun Pass store announced 500 packages at NT$320. The city also said buyers through the official Fun Pass store could redeem a limited-edition Beitou Hot Spring EasyCard at the Xinbeitou Station visitor service centre while the 500-card allocation lasts.
Why this is useful for travellers
Beitou is easy to reach from central Taipei, but the district is spread across several attractions rather than one single sight. The new pass effectively supplies a ready-made half-day or relaxed full-day sequence without forcing visitors into a guided tour. You still choose your own pace and move between stops independently.
The natural starting point is Xinbeitou MRT station. The historic station sits close by, so the shop voucher can be used early or saved for later. Beitou Museum is higher in the valley and occupies a restored Japanese-era building, while Marshal Zen Garden adds the hot-spring element that many visitors associate with the district.
This is not an all-inclusive transport pass
The product name can sound broader than it is. Beitou Roaming is an attraction-and-experience bundle, not a general Taipei transport ticket. Your MRT ride to and from Xinbeitou, local buses, taxis and any other transport remain separate unless the live product listing explicitly says otherwise.
That distinction matters if you are comparing it with broader Taipei Fun Pass products. The value here comes from the three named inclusions and the launch discount, not from unlimited public transport.
How the launch pricing works
Taipei announced the NT$299 and NT$320 prices as limited launch offers, not permanent guaranteed fares. The designated-platform batch was capped at 600 packages and the official-store batch at 500. On 18 September, Taipei English News was still highlighting the new Beitou day-trip pass among the week's city updates, confirming it remained a current city tourism initiative after sales opened.
Because stock is finite, treat the advertised discount as “while available”. If the cheapest allocation has sold through, the underlying package may still appear at a different price. Check the current product page before making a special trip or promising the deal to other people in your group.
A practical route through Beitou
A low-stress version of the day is to arrive by MRT at Xinbeitou, spend time around the old station and Beitou Park, then continue uphill for the museum and foot bath. Leave enough slack between timed or capacity-limited experiences, particularly on weekends.
- Start: MRT to Xinbeitou and visit the historic station.
- Use the voucher: the package includes NT$100 credit at the station shop.
- Continue: visit Beitou Museum for local history and the Japanese-era building.
- Finish: use the foot-bath inclusion at Marshal Zen Garden.
- Before setting out: check the current redemption rules, opening hours and reservation requirements for each component.
The package does not require you to rush. In fact, the city's positioning is explicitly a slower cultural day trip, which suits Beitou better than trying to squeeze the three inclusions into a short dash between other Taipei attractions.
What to check before buying
Three details can change independently: discount stock, attraction opening arrangements and redemption rules. A package can still be valid even if a particular launch bonus has run out, and an attraction may have its own closed day or booking requirement.
If the limited Beitou Hot Spring EasyCard is important to you, confirm that the redemption allocation remains available. The city's original announcement tied that souvenir specifically to purchases through the official Fun Pass store and capped it at 500.
Beitou is becoming easier to package without a tour
The new pass sits within Taipei's broader effort to encourage visitors to spend more time across Beitou's hot-spring, cultural and neighbourhood attractions instead of treating the area as a single quick stop. For independent travellers, the useful part is that the city has bundled three concrete experiences while leaving the rest of the day flexible.
That makes it most attractive to first-time Beitou visitors who already want the museum and a hot-spring experience. If you only want to wander the public park, thermal valley and streets, buying separate tickets may still make more sense.
