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 arrival at the coordinates, you are greeted by the pedestrian bridge that crosses Nathan Road in Mong Kok provides a scenic and elevated pathway for pedestrians amidst the vibrant atmosphere of one of Hong Kong's busiest streets, often referred to as the "Golden Mile" due to its iconic neon lights and shopping attractions. This is also the only bridge that spans across the entire Nathan Road. The construction of this bridge took several years, primarily due to the complexities of working in a densely populated area, the need to reroute underground utilities, and the requirement to minimize disruption to the heavy traffic flow below. This bridge not only enhances pedestrian safety by eliminating at-grade crossings but also offers stunning views of Nathan Road's bustling commercial activity, making it a unique vantage point for both locals and tourists to appreciate the dynamic urban landscape of Kowloon.
This is a mystery cache and therefore the cache is not here. However, you will be able to get the cache after answering the following questions.
Q1: Which year is the bridge open? The answer is A.
Q2: What is the height limit (m) for vehicles crossing under this bridge? The answer is B.
(Hint: Google the picture of this bridge. Note the banner during the construction of the bridge)
Q3: How many traffic lanes along the Nathan Road there are in total under the bridge? The answer is C.
Q4: How many lifts are there on this side of the bridge? The answer is D.
Q5: Get down the bridge to the direction of "Portland Street (South)". Behind the lift on that side of the bridge, there is a yellow sign that starts with K and end with A. Take only the number. This number is E.
Sum all numbers up. (A+B+C+D+E)
Input the answer below to get the final cache location and hints.
