Geocache Description:


There are only three streets in Hong Kong that have names related to sugar, and all of them have a sugar-related story.

This cache is situated near Tong Shui Road, which literally translates into Sugar Water Road. This is a road on reclaimation land, connecting the Eastern Corridor and King's Road, and it can be fairly busy during rush hours.

In the 1920s, Taiwanese businessman Kwok Chun Yeung planned to build a sugar refinery on the newly reclaimed land here. However, due to the failing sugar price as well as the Canton–Hong Kong Strike, the sugar refinery was never built, and the land was later used to build housing estates.

Cache is inside a park frequent by local residents at all time, please exercise stealth when searching and replacing the cache. You may need to climb up one step to grab the cache so be weary of muggles. GPS maybe bouncy due to nearby buildings, use hint if unable to get a proper lock.

Park Opening Hours: 6:30AM to 11PM Daily

Additional Hints (Decrypt)

Pbeare orapu, bireurnq, zntargvp.
