Geocache Description:

XianJiYan area is a small hill, located in southern Taipei city. There are 14 hiking trails (watch waypoints below) access to the top at 144m elevation, a 2nd class benchmark is nearby the cache.

"XianJiYan" is Chinese, means "The rock of celestial's footstep". An old Chinese fairy story said that hundreds years ago, a celestial who named "DongBin Lu" he had a big jump from Mt. Toad (ChanChuShan, N 25° 00.184 E 121° 32.647 H135m) to this hill and left a footstep on the huge rock on this summit. That is the reason why people named this place as "The rock of celestial's footstep".
