Geocache Description:


Tao Shan (Tao Mountain or Mountain Peach) is located at boundary of Taichung County and Hsinchu County, she is No.#48 in the Taiwan 100 Mountains. It has 360 degree surround view on the summit of Tao Shan, you can enjoy the saint crest line, you can also see NanHu Big Mountain and many many other Taiwan 100 Mountains, that's great.

Mt. DaBa and Mt. XiaoBa are behind the benchmark.

The distance of Tao Shan trail is not very long, just 4.5km short in one way, but it's quite steep, need over 8hr from the trailhead at 1900m an elevation above sea level up to the top at 3325m, need 5hr down back to the trailhead, to stay in Tao Shan Cabin for one night is a good idea if you want to hunt this cache.
