Tucked away on the slopes of Yuanshan Mountain, the Mizujin Shrine is a hauntingly beautiful relic from Taiwan's Japanese era. The moss-covered stone steps lead to a tiny shrine dedicated to the water deity, where the sacred spring still flows today—locals believe splashing its water brings luck. Don't miss the vermilion torii gate and lanterns shrouded in ferns, especially at dusk when dappled light transforms it into a Kyoto-style hideaway. Pair your visit with night views of the grand Grand Hotel Taipei nearby!
