New location N 24.226177 E 120.577561
Cache location updated from original - N 24° 13.745 E 120° 34.992 - to the new one. Overall Difficulty Rating boosts to 2; terrain rating becomes much easier though.
"N 24.226177 E 120.577561" is Google Map estimated coordinates - (visit link) - since trees over there interfere with receiving the GPS signal. Hopefully, Ancient Pirate Map and Hints can help to get the cache. Have fun. ^_^

Trail of breadcrumbs to old cache location: You may not be able to drive into the campus, but it is very easy to park your car by Chung-chi road, or you may find a very large parking area not very far from the gate. Since Providence University is at Dadu Mountain, you may find there are several great view points to enjoy the diversity of scenery. In the day time, if the weather is fair, you may find the ocean is so blue amazingly from here; if you come in the evening, the sunset is so beautiful. You can come here for shooting star at night as well.
The coordinates above is the place where hides the cache. However, (N 24 13.734, E 120 34.997), called J point, is another one to help to locate the cache. J point is easier to find. You may enjoy the great sight view as well as spot the cache. The pictures are taken from J point.
At J point, you are likely at the center of a triangle formed by three light poles. Like the way you find the North Star when you find the Great Bear; find the longest side of triangle, and it is at A 19 side if you do not use your way to look at it.
Now there are several caches around this area. You may develop your own traveler path computation algorithms to hunt them all and share with us your most optimized solution. ^_^
