Geocache Description:

西營盤 Sai Ying Pun, located on the Western part of the busiest Hong Kong Island. Based on Wikipedia, this western part of the island was a military holding base for the English during colonization. Now they are all gone and only the locals remains. However, some information about this area can be found on Wikipedia:

GZ is an interesting place that reminded me of San Francisco eg. (visit link) . Visit this site and you'll understand why. Do not come during a heavy downpour or you'll face a stream/waterfall! During the normal days, you'll encounter a constant waterfall flow of human so stealth techniques are definitely a must.

You can use public transport such as the Trams, buses, mini buses or taxi to get near to GZ and walk over, the terrain difficulty will varies according to your approach. I usually visit on foot from Sheung Wan.

You are looking for a brightly colored micro container hidden from direct sight. Bring along your writing tools.

GPSr may be inconsistent so do have a look at the hint. You can also have a go at the Mango or Durian Pancakes sold inside a nearby bakery. Or visit the High Street Ghost House nearby (visit link)

西营盘,在最繁忙的香港岛西部。根据维基百科,本岛西部是一个在英国殖民时期的军事控股基地。现在,只有当地人仍然存在。然而,一些有关这方面的资料,可浏览维基百科: (visit link) or (visit link) (Chinese)

这里是个非常有趣的地方,令我想起了旧金山。来到这里,你就会明白为什么。不过,在大雨过后或您将面临一个流/瀑布,所以必须注意!在一般的日子,你会遇到一个不断流动的人瀑布,这里使“隐形技术”是绝对必要的。

您可以使用电车,巴士,小巴或的士公共交通工具靠近“零地带”,步行一段就可,步行有多困难,将根据您的来访路线。我经常从“上擐”步行到此。

您正在寻找一种鲜艳的微型容器,请携带您的书写工具。

GPSr可能接收得不精确。请看看“暗示”。这里的面包店有我喜欢的芒果/榴莲pancake出售。高街也有闻名的“鬼屋”可观赏。

暗示:
请在附近的面包店前坐坐,小心会引起“麻瓜”的注意 (visit link)
