Geocache Description:


唭哩岸是凱達格蘭族凱達格蘭語「Ki-Lrig-an」的譯音,是「海灣」之意。國立陽明大學興建圖資大樓,進行地質鑽探,挖出含有鹹水貝殼之唭哩岸石,證明台北盆地內曾經是鹹水湖或海域,「唭哩岸」意涵「海灣」才獲得另一個證據。在這裡可以遙望軍艦岩。

步道1. 唭哩岸山可以從陽明大學內往軍艦岩的登山步道上去,路徑比較陡峭一點。步道2.直接到陽明大學山頂操場旁的停車場,寶點就在操場旁數十公尺內。步道1部分為光禿禿的砂岩,原本階梯和繩索扶手也年久失修,請各位多加小心。寶盒大概是底片盒大小,“壓轉式”瓶蓋。

QiLiAn is from the language of Ketagalan (Taiwan Aboriginal Tribe), and it means gulf or bay. Salt water shells fossil were also found during the contruction of NYMU's building, this also proved that the location was once a salty lake or sea. Junjianyan (GC2BJ1F cache) can be clearly observed.

Trail 1. Take the hiking trail to Junjianyan, the trail entrance is at the NE corner of NYMU. Trail 2. Go direct to the NYMU's mountain top sports field, the gz is within tens of meters from the sports field. Some part of Trail 1 is natural sand stone, the steps and rope fences were damaged. Please take extra care! Cache is roughly the size of 35mm film canister, with press and twist cap.
