In 2000, the expedition "Trekking Without Genghis Khan" organized entirely by Taiwanese, retraced on foot the historic route of Mongol ruler Genghis Khan's western conquest 800 years ago. The expedition became the most celebrated of all exploration activities by Taiwanese in recent years. In Taiwan, with its many precipitous peaks and the diverse ancestry of its people, the step of the explorer has in fact never been stayed.
二○○○年，由國人籌劃組成的「尋找成吉思汗遠征隊」開拔出發，以將近兩年的時間，徒步行過八百年前蒙古成吉思汗西征路線，成為台灣探險界的最大盛事。
