Geocache Description:


Random Wiki Puzzle Series: I've long enjoyed the "Random Article" button on Wikipedia, so when I was thinking about puzzle caches, I thought it would be cool to do a series based on articles found using the button. 

Background: For someone who once won his school's geography bee on a question about the Forbidden City, I am not as up to date on early Chinese history as I should be.Fortunately, our beloved button is here to help remedy that.
