Geocache Description:

This cache is NOT at listed coordinate.
Read and follow the instruction carefully.

Over 700 yrs ago, an Italian merchant traveller "Marco Polo", started from his motherland "Venice", travelled all the way to the east and finally reached China.
He recorded all the detail of that epic journey into a book "The Travels of Marco Polo".


Recently, a secret chapter of this book was unveiled accidentally by a geocacher in Hong Kong.
And he discovered that Marco Polo had actually been to Hong Kong before and visited his friend "Mr. Tsau".

The following is the translated script of this chapter.

**************************************

Today, I took a small boat from a place called "Horse Urine".
The boat kept sailing to the east, and landed on an island.
As the sailor said, it was the easternmost island of this small city.
From the pier, I followed the small trail to the north.
I was a bit hungry and get some refreshment from nearby villagers.
After that, I kept heading north west and reached a junction (WP1).
The north trail would reach the Police office, but I took the other one instead.
I kept walk and walk, passed many houses, and reached a small white hut with blue windows (WP2).
I believed it was a water facility hut.
At that junction, I took the west trail, the hidden one, and finally saw a house constructed by many many small stones, that was the house of my friend.
But he was not there, then I left a letter to him, and put it into a box with a “double coin” sign on it.
Finally I locked the box with “Triple Seven”.

**************************************


Base on all this information, the geocacher scratched a treasure map, the map is definitely NOT in scale, for reference only, take your own risk.
GOOD LUCK!
