This cache takes you up on a mountain in Jinan. On the way up, you
have a nice view over the city (if there is not so much smog). The
cache is located at a Gong Fu training site, well hidden in the
woods. If you are lucky, you can meet people there training their
Gong Fu.
You can reach the trailhead from Er Huan Dong Lu (East Road) close
to the Shandong Economic University. You can either take a cab or
the bus. Take lines 49, K50 or K107 and get off at Shandong
Economic University.
The cache is well hidden but should not be too hard to find. It is
a film canister. For the hike, you should wear solid hicking boots,
which provide some grip. It's probably not the best idea to go up
when it is rainy or snowy. It can be a bit steep, but its a
beautiful place that is totaly worth the effort. Close by is also
the Buddha Head, a huge stone head carved into the mountain.
The cache contains a logbook a pencil and a few old German Marks
and Pennies.
Small note on cache maintenance: I will live in
China for quite a while now at least a year. Besides I have a good
friend, in Jinan, who teaches at the Shandong Economic University.
We placed the cache together and he comes up there almost every
day.
