Geocache Description:

First "Large" cache in Hong Kong, a real big smiley.

Hong Kong is about 1100 sq. km, but with population more than 7 millions, it is one of the most densely populated area in the world.

Not surprisingly, the most common size of container you find there is "Mirco/nano", updated at Oct 2013, container size distribution is:
Mirco: 346
Small: 375
Regular: 60
Other: 33
Unknown: 77
Virtual: 5
Large: 0

Why can't we have a "large" cache? Does it really that difficult?

Yes, it was not that easy, from GZ to container, there are so many concerns and preparation works, but finally "We Made It!", the 1st "Large" cache in Hong Kong!


However, gz is not easy to access, it located at a Tombolo (hey, no foul language please!), it called Wu Chau, before you go, please make sure you check the tide information.
http://www.weather.gov.hk/tide/etide_main.htm

If you arrived at the right tide, the Sea will separate into two halves, you can walk on ground and cross the sea. You ever had that feeling like you're crossing the Red Sea?

Furthermore, as the container is so large, you are suggested to:
1. Bring as many trackable as you can
2. Bring and exchange trinkets with smiley there
3. Take a photo with your smile and share in log
4. Of course, spoiler friendly
5. There is tailor-made FTF Prize

Congratulation to samshlau for his FTF

FTFer was really determined to grab that FTF, check the tide before go, well prepared, he really deserved for the tailor-made FTF prize.
Specially mentioned the STFer, AirQ, even though he was disappointed to be 2nd as there is some information mistake before he go, and he nearly "swim" in order to grab the cache, as CO, we were touched and showed our respect to him.
We are proud for both visitors, and thanks for the fav. point.
