The old Tai-An Train Station (N24°19.372 E120°44.944) was set in the valley between two mountains. Due to the limitation of steep slope, the station was set under the roadway. As a result, the entrance was under the platform, which was a special design in Taiwan .
On Sep 23, 1998 the last train left the old mountain line, Taiwan Railways Administration had changed its mountain line, and the old mountain line ceased providing service. This mountain line had begun to serve people since 1908, and given service for almost 100 year. Although old Tai-An Station was no longer in service, taking the old train still were the beautiful memories of many passengers. (Excerpt from here.)
Find the path which is behind the platform, and follow the irrigation canal. There is a aqueduct in the end of the path. Because it was built for channel the water to overpass the valley, so it's also called "water bridge". This arched water bridge was built in 1913 and has 90 years old. Until now, it still running well.
This is a multi cache. At first, you should find the first cache near to the water bridge to get the final coordinates. The first cache is a "nano cache". The final cache is a plastic box.
Original content: logbook, pencil, three Doraemon magnets, two Snoopy card sheaths, two toy cars.
Pay attention! .
You should be careful when acting beside the canal, children especially. The caches were hidden in safe place. Never, never set foot on any danger area. .
The path to the water bridge is covered by weeds sometimes. A stick on your hand will be better.
