Geocache Description:


This is a micro cache hidden in front of "General House", a house which is built by Shen Hong Ying, a warlord. You can take minibus 36 or 603 from Yuen Long West Rail Station and get off at Fung Kat Heung. The General House is at the back of Fung Kat Restaurant (逢吉茶樓).

Chinese History: 座落在逢吉鄉的上將府，由民初軍閥沈鴻英所興建。沈鴻英曾參與推翻滿清革命，但亦多次在廣西擁兵自重。1925年，沈鴻英在桂林被李宗仁打敗，繼而逃走至香港。沈氏族人最後定居錦田，在沙埔以北建立逢吉鄉，並在此興建大宅「上將府」。上將府中間為大宅，而左右兩側分別為沈氏宗祠及協威樓，門樓上題有「鎮南堂」。
