Geocache Description:

Northwest end of YangMingShan National Park, Da-Tuen Creek Trail is ideal for a hot summer day hiking, you will walk under the cover of forest and vegetation all the way until reaching the peak (1057m).

Water supply is no concern here, since you are walking around the creek. Nice waterfalls and ancient lodge or cave make it more interesting along the way. Follow the ribbons tied on the twigs or refer to my trail.
There are also 5 official sign posts lead to the top. This is NOT an easy trail (I repeat, NOT an easy trail), you should rest at post #3, refill your water bottle and get reday for the ultimate challenge. After that stop, you will enter an arrow-bamboo forest, walking (crawling) under it, and the slope is quite steep (both hands needed).

The cache is a small black round box (~6cm in diameter).
Initial content:
pencil
logbook
Wooden "E=Mc²" Nickel
