Geocache Description:


GC=Great Camo

龍山寺坐北朝南,面呈回字形,為中國古典三進四合院之宮殿式建築,由前殿、正殿、後殿及左右護龍構成。前殿為11開間,分為三川殿、龍門廳、虎門廳。三川殿前有一對全臺僅見之銅鑄蟠龍柱,正面牆堵則由花崗石與青斗石混合組構而成,牆上故事多出自三國演義和封神榜,富於教育意義。正殿屋頂採歇山重簷式,四面走馬廊共42根柱子構成,殿外牆堵留有多幅著名書法家石刻,殿內的螺旋藻井不費一釘一鐵,全由斗栱相嵌築構而成。後殿屋頂採歇山重簷式,為典型儒、道教諸神佛供奉處。左右護龍各配有鐘樓與鼓樓,晨鐘暮鼓,其轎頂式扁六角形的屋頂,造形獨特。全寺屋頂脊帶和飛簷由龍鳳、麒麟等吉祥物造形,飾以剪黏和交趾陶,色彩瑰麗,堪稱臺灣剪黏藝術之精華。

民國七十四年政府公告艋舺龍山寺為國家保護之二級古蹟,與國立故宮博物院、中正紀念堂並列為國際觀光客來臺旅遊的三大名勝。(取自龍山寺官網)。

=== To locate the cache, solve this riddle ===

Between two red signs, find the middle
Walk along the sidewalk curb
Mind your steps do not perturb
For you are in very good hands
With blessings from Tudigong bow down with respect
Active Geosense inspect 
A green camo hidden well
Surely a geocacher can tell!

The cache is outside of the temple and is a camo cache in plain sight. As with all of our GC caches, please do not post pictures of the container!
