I'm johnpoontf, deeply rooted in the vibrant neighborhood of Tai Kok Tsui as I create a series for this district. Reaching my 300 caches, I am excited to announce the launch of not one, but three new series - each unfolding in the bustling districts of Sham Shui Po, Mong Kok, and Yau Ma Tei! As we venture from the historical markets of Sham Shui Po, through the neon-lit streets of Mong Kok, to the cultural crossroads of Yau Ma Tei, each cache will reveal the unique essence and stories of these districts. Our journey begins in Tai Kok Tsui, symbolizing the bridge between my first series and the new experiences that await.
In the spirit of community and shared adventure, each cache in these series will be revealed as its predecessor reaches ten logs. This approach aims to build a sense of anticipation and collective achievement, encouraging us all to engage actively and support each other's explorations.
Upon arriving at this site, you will find yourself amidst numerous construction projects. This historical district is currently undergoing a transformation, spearheaded by the Government's Urban Renewal Authority, to rejuvenate its aged buildings. This cache provides a unique opportunity to witness the merging of the old with the new. To prevent the cache from being compromised by the surrounding dust and debris, it has been securely placed within Astoria Crest, a development by the Urban Renewal Authority and a private developer. Do note that there is no need to enter the private premises to find the cache.
