Geocache Description:

I figured it is about time for a trickier one in Shanghai, one to rack your brain over. Actually for people who do not know Shanghai that well it could be a little trickier as for locals. Foreigners can add one star for difficulty.

Ok here it comes: I give you only three hints to start with:
1. It is in Shanghai (Duh!)
2. The coordinates are NOT the destination (not even close)
3. The name is the game (be creative!)

When you figured out the place/area of the cache, go to the north entrance.
The GPS reception in the area is very bad so don't rely on your GPS so much, rather just follow the main way south from the north entrance for about 130m. You should now stand in front of a arched gateway. Behind that gateway is a cross street. Don't go through that gateway but go to the alley in the west (right side when looking at the gate). Walk for approximately 25m. then look left (south). You should see an alley with a dead end a few meters ahead. Walk towards the wall at the end of the alley. The cache is to your right on a black drain pipe at approx. 5-6 ft height.

Cache: You are looking for a Nano Cache. There is no pen so bring your own!

The general area is always full of muggles but ground zero should be relatively muggle free but look out that you are not watched.

Important note: I don't want to see any hints or pictures in the logs that reveal the location in any way. Please also no pictures of anything in the greater area. The fun with this cache is to find the area, the rest is standard. If you have tried for days to solve and have no idea whats however you can send me an email and I will give you a little help. However try to solve it yourself first.
