Geocache Description:

Na Pu Bridge is first suspension bridge over the Huang Pu River. It is open for tourist at the Pu Xi side (the west side of the Huang Pu River, at the bridge side). The starting point is near there. There are a lot of bus terminal stations, No. 43, No. 89, No. 80, No. 64, No. 65, No. 144, No. 109. You could choose which is convenient for you. Please note: After 18:00, the cache will not be accessible.

This is the first Cache I hid. It was called blue clip because originally there is a blue clip in the the cache. I think it would take you 2-3 hours for the hunt.
I would be very grateful, if you take a black sticky tape with you. Since when you find the cache, if necessary, you could do some repaire job for me.
The starting point (Point I) is N31 12.604 E121 29.832. It is a lamp pole. (The former traffic sign is gone). On the pole there is a small steel plate. You could read the following figures:
aabcad
A=a+d
B=b
C=c
(Some cachers complained that there are many lamp poles around, and the gps signal is not good. But if you focus on the format of the figures, I think it won’t be difficult.)

The next coordinates (Point II) are:
N31 12.(A-C+B)(A+C-1)(A+C+B)
E121 29.(A+C+B)(A+C-1)(A+C+B)

On the way maybe you would see something remind you not to drive too fast. On point II, you would see a ticket office here, buy the ticket and take on the vehicle. Don’t worry, it only has one destination. The ticket is 0.5 RMB yuan. If you ride a bike the fare is 1.3 yuan.

The vehicle would take you to the next coordinates. After you get off, walk about 50M along the street, you could see a bus stop on you left side.

The coordinates of the bus stop (Point III) is
N31 12.(C+B+B)(C+1+B)(C+C+B)
E121 30.(C+B-1)(B+B+B)( C+B-1)

There is a bus line name as (D)40

The next coordinates leads to the entrance (Point IV) to the cache is:
N31 12.(D-C-1)(D-1-B)(D-C+B)
E121 30.( D-1+B)(D+C+1)(D+1+B)
It is a long walk. It will take you around 10-15 minutes to walk from point III to point V.

Here is the gate, which leads you to the cache. You would see a board telling you what you cannot do here, marked by red circles. The number of the don’t/The number of the red circles is:
E

The original cache V1.0 (Point V) is located at:(NOW IT IS GONE. And that place is not so welcom now.)
N31 12.(D-C-C)(E-A+C)(A-D-1)
E121 30.(D+B+B)( E-A+C)(E-C-1)

To access the new cache point (Blue Clip in Shanghai V2.0), I recommend the following way. When you enter the gate of Point IV, go straight to the highest structure of that area. At the foot of that structure you would see a marble carving the name of the structure (Hope you could understand the Chinese. Never mind, it has nothing to do with the cache.). Turn left to the left foot of the structure. There is a big hole (maybe you could find a more appropriate word for me). Look through that "window", you could see two same buildings. Move you steps, make the further building standing in the middle of hole. Lower your eyes, you could see a Indus Tree IN THE MIDDLE. Than, walk toward that tree. The cache is five meters within.

It is round shaped container. I covered it with black sticky tape. No pen inside. Be aware of mugglers. Take action until you are sure. When you put it back please adjust the position to make is less visible.

Good Luck!

You could refer to the hint for the cordinates of the cache. And I hope you won't use it.
