Geocache Description:

simple cache in a modern living environment. This is in Meijiang, one of the most sought after living areas in Tianjin. Need to take a taxi or bike.

Nearest metro station would be Tu Cheng.


For me it is time to leave China, therefore I place a cache in one of the compounds in TJ city to enrich TJ which its 4th geocache at the moment. This compound is quite big, so it should not be a problem entering.

It is around 2 years old, the Chinese call it rich people area. Tianjin's biggest expat community lives there, Airbus has put many of its Expats there.

Basically it is a nice area. You can combine it with a visit to the new Tianjin Meijiang convention center if you want. There is a nice park that could hold one or 2 caches as well.

You will find the cache at a kind of small creek.

There is a wooden platform, at the right end of the platform you can sit on the small stone wall. Need to remove 2 stones to find the cache.

Cache is a small lock lock box, a round one below the 2 stones.

Cache in: some coins from Korea, Macau and Thailand.

Enjoy!

I will watch it from Germany, but have a friend here for maintenance.

Small note on cache maintenance: There is a local cache guardian. Name and contact info on file with geocaching.com.

If you want to prepare your visit please check the location on open street maps, not on google maps. For some reason google maps seems to be wrong here. The cache is in a compound called "chang shui yuan", this is east of Youyi Lou. The location shown on open street maps is the correct one. Thanks.
