Alert (not hint): beware of the dirty mosquitoes

Here is an excerpt of the story of the Lomond Road Garden:

This temple itself fell into ruin long ago, leaving only the lintel of its main door, which was here intact. In commemoration, the Hong Kong Government has made this rest garden which, like the nearby Sung Wong Toi Garden, provides in its reminder of past history more than a place of rest.

The garden was completed on September 1st 1962 and opened by Dr. R.H.S Lee M.B.E.

Congratulations to k-romers for being the first to find of my first geocache! :D
