Geocache Description:

This is a secret garden in the busy Wanchai area. While you can take a seat and relax, you can also read the display board there and understand the origins of Wanchai. And if you go up the stairs to Sun Street, Moon Street and Star Street, you will find many hidden treasures there - interesting shops and fancy restaurants. Enjoy!

Wanchai is located in Hong Kong Island and its boundaries are Canal Road to the east, Arsenal Street to the west, south to Bowen Road and north to Gloucester Road. Though the coastline of Wanchai has changed many times because of multiple reclamation.

The name Wanchai (meaning small bay) comes from the fact that the coastline of Wanchai used to be along Queen's Road East. If you come into Queen's Road East through Admiralty, you will find that the road turns inwards. When it was the coastline of Wanchai, it was just like a small bay.

Before 1881, however, it was also referred to as "Ha Wan" meaning lower ring. In the old days, Central (middle ring), Sheung Wan (upper ring), Sai Wan (west ring) and Ha Wan (lower ring) are known as four rings as these are the earliest developed area. In 1881, the government chose Wanchai to be the formal name instead.
