Geocache Description:

This cache is a 200 cc black jar, with room for small trading items.  It is in another one of Shanghai's beautiful parks, easily accessible by metro, and paved all the way to ground zero.  You will have to be about 170 cm or more tall to reach the cache. If you find or place something other than this jar, you may not log it. No throw downs, please. Some climbing required.


This cache is available for adoption, if you live in Shanghai and could take care of it. You could become the cache owner.

This cache is in Huangxing Park, in Shanghai.  Like many parks in Shanghai, you will see lots of people on nice days, playing badminton, strolling, riding the electric boats, blowing bubbles.   On a fairly busy holiday weekend, there was no one at ground zero, so you might find it fairly easy to grab this cache.

The park was constructed new from 2000-2001, and is large, about 600 Mu (40 Hectares).  It is named after Huangxing, one of the revolutionary leaders of the 1911 revolution, and was second in importance to Sun Yat-Sen.  

The cache location is a pretty little garden area, with many columns and an overhead trellis.

On your way to the cache, admire the many park activities, and maybe consider going on an electric boat ride yourself.
