Cache Location Info
In the northwest of Dulan Village, there is a mild marine terrace where well-preserved stone coffins and stone walls are found, now classified a third grade historical site. During the Japanese ruling (1895-1945), a rectangle stony coffin was excavated here. Follow-up investigations later by Academia Sinica led to discovery of giant stone piles. The site and the objects date back to 3,000 years ago and are believed to be a part of Kirin Culture. Now considered a protected cultural heritage, the site is divided into stony coffin area and stony wall area. Footways and explanatory signs are available. It is believed that more historical sites are nearby and await excavation here.

Parking
You may simply park on the side of the road and grab this Cache but we highly recommend parking near the bottom of the road going up towards the mountain. Somewhere near the Family Mart on Hwy 11. This will turn the hunt into a nice little 20-25 min hike each way, through a beautifully lush green classic Taiwanese country road. 

The Container
- The container is the size of a melon, clear with a red cap, and the Geocaching logo and short description taped to the outside.
- You may need a flashlight/torch to find this cache after dark. 
- The original contents include a Log Book & Pen, Looptopia Music Festival Token, a Dream Catcher, Plastic Pumpkin, and the Business Card of a Local Hostel who supports this Cache.
