Second Pagoda Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dokes: This geocache had a good run. I left Hong Kong nearly 5 years ago and have not returned once to maintain this cache, while various kind souls have replaced log books as they filled.

But all good things must come to an end. The geocache appears to have been taken.

Thanks to everyone who visited 'Second Pagoda'.

Geocache Description:

Second Pagoda, intersection of Bowen and Wan Chai Gap Roads

The Second Pagoda is a popular park for runners, hikers, Tai Chi practitioners, and now Geocachers. It sits almost exactly halfway along the marked 4km Bowen Road running path.

It is one of the few access points for Bowen Road (though the entry path is steep on both sides), so can be accessed from the city below or the police museum above, or along Bowen Road.

I unfortunately couldn't find much information on the Second Pagoda (or even its official name) but it has probably been around in various forms since soon after the road was built in the late 19th century. Bowen road was named after George Ferguson Bowen, the 9th Governor of Hong Kong, from 1883 to 1885.

A large Storm water management system runs through the park.

The cache itself should be a relatively easy find - only challenge will be the bouncy GPS in all the tree cover. Please be surreptitious given the likely muggles about.
