On top of Elephant Mountain in Taipei there is an orientation table. On the table there is a little plaque with coordinates:
X 307311 Y2769140
E 121° 34'04" N25° 01'45"

But the coordinates are wrong. If you change them into degrees and minutes it will be: N25° 01.750 E121° 34.067. That is in the middle of a building around 1 km from here.

Elephant Mountain is a very popular tourist destination in taipei. There is a hiking trail to the top from where you have a fantastic view of the city and the Taipei 101 building.
