Geocache Description:


This cache is located in a park right behind the headquarter of the company created

There are several inexpensive carpark around this park (starting at NT$10 per hour), if you are here only for the cache, you can probably just park beside the street. The park is also within walking distances from MRT and bus stops, Ubike service is also available at one corner of the park. The park is built around an artificial pond, if you are in the mood, you can take the advantage of Ubike service, and have a free short bike ride around the park.

For those of you hunting during business hours, you can visit the free art gallery on the first floor. The big taichi sculpture by Ju-ming, a famous Taiwan sculpturer is right in the middle of the gallery. There are also sculptures of great scientists such as Einstein, Newton, Faraday, etc by Ju-ming. Other than these permanent art displays, there are also paintings and sculptures by other local artists. At the far end of the gallery, there is also a nice cafe with occasional musical entertainments from local bands (usually Friday lunchtime). Just ask the friendly girls at the front desk, they welcome the whole family to visit. I go pass by the cache once or twice a week, I hope I will see someone acting suspiciously near gz next time I'm around. Don't run away if I come and say hi to you.


P.S. The cache is not at the coordinates, but only meters from it. When you are at the gz, use the hint to find the cache.


Now, here's the hint part. In photo A, you will see two objects/locations marked as A1, and A2. If you draw a straight line from A1 to A2, and extend further until you see possible hiding spots, the cache is right there. Photo B is what you see when you stand between A1 and A2, while the cache is behind you. There is a small pencil and logsheet in the cache, it can probably hold small TBs or GCs. Have fun!
