Geocache Description:

The rock at GZ sustains some form of honeycomb weathering that crafts its shape into a Rhino and it is known locally as the Rhino Rock.

To get to GZ, the quickest and easiest way is to take the bus route No.14, get off at the front gate of Stanley Barracks and take the nearby path to Che Pau Teng. The gate at the entrance to the path is not locked, however you should stay on course and should not attempt climbing over any fences or getting into the the Barracks area. After reaching the trigonometrical sign, head south east and you should be able find a hidden path that gives you access to the south and eventually to the Rhino. Upon returning to the trigonometrical sign, you may either take the original path back, or go north (another 3.5-star path, pretty overgrown and is also not well-defined at some section) and exit opposite Regalia Bay.

Please note that the path to GZ may not be well defined and is overgrown at some section. Some slight climbing may be needed. Wearing long trousers is recommended. You may follow the ribbon tag.

The cache contains a log and a pen with some tradable items.

Enjoy some of the funny-shape rocks en-route and you may sit on the "bench" under the Rhino to enjoy the view while logging. If you are adventurous, you can "ride the Rhino". Warning : Riding a rhino is a five-star activity!

As a bonus, you should have a look at the other face of the Rhino. It morphs into another animal. Need a bit of an imagination though.
