Geocache Description:


The cache is hidden next to the old Wan Chai post office. The old Wan Chai post office is the oldest surviving post office building in Hong Kong. Erected between 1912 and 1913, the building was opened on 1 March 1915 as the Wan Chai post office. The post office ceased to operate in 1992, after having served the Wan Chai community continuously for 77 years. The post office became a declared monument on 18 May 1990. It is the only building declared as a monument in the Wan Chai area.

Nowadays, the building is operated as an Environmental Resource Centre. There are a touch-screen environmental information system, a reference library, display boards in the Resource Centre. There is also an Environmental Garden whose wall is made of recycled bricks recovered during the refurbishment of the historic building.

Visitors can also take an envelope from the centre as a souvenir. The envelope has a picture of the post office on it.

Opening hours: Mondays to Sundays: 10:00am – 5:00pm.
Closed on Tuesdays and Public Holidays
