Geocache Description:

Cache is located on Peng Chau Island, and is accessible from a short walk around the perimeter of the island. Peng Chau itself is accessible from either Central or Discovery Bay via regular ferry.
The location of the cache is such that it would be adviseable to go at low tide, and to be mindful when there, of the rising tide.
Tidal information can be found at: http://www.weather.gov.hk/tide/etide_main.htm

Peng Chau is a small island located off the north-eastern coast of Lantau Island. Administratively, it is part of the Islands District of Hong Kong. It has an area of 0.98 km².
Peng Chau is known for its small island lifestyle, accessibility to fresh seafood, and many temples located around the island (including a Tin Hau temple built in 1792). The tallest point of the island is Finger Hill, which is 95m in height and provides hiking opportunities for those who seek them.

The cache is a large plastic container and contains several small trinkets to start off. Please try to keep this cache well stocked.
As mentioned by AirQ (thanks), it was difficult to get accurate coordinates and so the actual coordinates are offset by 7m. The clue however will leave you in no doubt as to the location (and you should find it without the clue).

FTF honours to Chigahung.
