Geocache Description:

Harbin is one of China's large but mainly unknown cities with more than 10 mn inhabitants in 2015.


Given the size of the city it was a shame to have only one cache (GCD016) in place so I added a traditional to the list.

Maintenance is done by a local resident (Thanks YL!).

The container is hidden at Liansheng Square which is home to the very nice Saint Sophia Cathedral.

It also hosts an object best described as "Steel Church". This is where the cache resides.

PLEASE BE AWARE OF MUGGLES! This is a high muggle area and the cache won't last long if no proper stealth is used.

It seems, that the GPS position is sometimes a bit...weird. I had different readings on three different devices. Maybe that's China... But I am sure you will find the Steel Church even without GPS :)

Happy caching
