Geocache Description:

The cache is a micro, a magnetic container with room for a log only. The park is accessible until 7 in the summer and 6 the rest of the year. There is no charge to enter the park. Paved paths all the way. Cache is at a little above the ground level.

Heping Park was established in 1958. Located in the northeast of HongKou District of Shanghai, it covers 260 acres, including 47 acres of water. There are 4 gates to the park, located on Dalian Road at Kongjiang Road, Xingang Road at Hongzhen old Street, Tianbao Road , and Xingang Road at Ruihong Road. The park integrates a natural garden style with a Chinese garden style. It includes an arboretum in classic Chinese character.

In recent years, the park has been reconstructed, including an animal island with lions, tigers, bears, and spotted deer. The park also includes a small amusement park and plenty of space for wandering.

The park is convenient to SiPing Road Metro Station, which serves lines 8 and 10. The easiest entrance to the park from the subway is to take Exit 3, and walk southeast along Dalian Road to the park entrance.

In 2022, the wall of the park is removed. And the park is renovated. On 13th, Oct. the cache has been moved to a new place.

As usual, beware of muggles; they will be very curious.

Beware the Shanghai map offset that comes and goes. Waypoint on the map is not always the actual cache location.
