Geocache Description:


The purpose of this Geocache is to visit the CY Tung Museum and have a look around the grounds of Jiao Tong University Xuihui Campus.

As a foreigner I found it quite difficult to get into the Campus ( you need a Chinese ID) , so if anyone finds an easy way for foreigners then please do add to the comments or write to me so that I can add in the description.  I got a chinese person to register me for the museum together with them. ( It seems you need Chinese ID to complete this process) Bookings can only be taken for dates in the future after two days have elapsed.

Do visit the CY Tung Maritime Museeum

The CY Tung Museum, is a Maritime museum. The ground  floor is dedicated to ancient chinese ships and the second floor is  dedicated to the life of CY Tung, a shipping magnate and owner of the Orient Overseas Shipping Line.  One of the boats that he bought  was the RMS Queen Elizabeth, which was the largest ocean going from 1938-1972.   She was bought by CY Tung to be a training ship in Hong Kong.  You will find a model of the ship, a bell and piece of her hull( +rivet ) on the second floor.

The cache..

If the GPS is not acurate enough,  Imagine you are on the bridge of the Seawise University, and a fire is breaking out, at a bearing of 247 you will find some fire fighting equipment, to the right bottom of the equipment is the cache.
