Geocache Description:





This geocache is NOT located at the posted coordinates. But the original first geocache in China was there.






This cache dedicates to the 20th anniversary of geocaching!

You can earn Blue Switch Day 2020 souvenir by finding any geocache starting May 2 through the end of the year.



On 20th August 2001, the first geocache was placed in Mainland China! Unfortunately the cache had never been physically found before it was archived.

Today I tried to replace a new box where the original cache was supposed to be, but only found out that the path to the location has been blocked and it's now forbidden to public...



So I took Plan B, placed the box at a new location close by. It's still in the territory of the original cache, i.e. within the range of 161m.

To find this cache, you have to solve a small puzzle: What's the cache owner's alias of the first geocache in China?
