Geocache Description:

The CNY series celebrates the Chinese New Year. The 12 animal signs of the Chinese Zodiac are presented. Eleven will have a number needed for the coordinates to find the twelfth for this Chinese New Year, The Year of the Dragon.

The rabbit has represented hope for a long time, by Chinese people. It is tender and lovely. The moon goddess Chang'e in Chinese legend had a rabbit as her pet, which stimulated the thought that only the rabbit was amiable enough to match her noble beauty. The Chinese character 'Tu' (rabbit) is part of 'Yi' (escape or leisure) indicating speed and distance. The Han people have a custom that a pregnant woman is not allowed to eat rabbit meat for fear that the child will be born with a harelip. The newborn is given paintings of children and rabbits representing that the child will have a peaceful and happy life.
