Please don't search the posted coordinates as this is a car park and the cache isn't there. It would be a good place to park for this cache find or maybe get dropped off by a taxi. The cache is based at a sculpture park where works of art mostly have 'single word' names such as Growth, Accumulation, and Soar etc. Besides each sculpture is a plaque placed in the ground containing various items of information about it. As some of the artworks have lights within them then this could be an interesting night cache.
Part of one of the sculptures with the information plaque in the foreground
To solve this puzzle, collect the information from the plaques by each sculpture as required below. Five sculptures are on the beach side of Haibin Road and two are on the other side of the road. Use the map shown as a guide as all sculptures are within the yellow circle.
Once you have the information needed, perform some simple mathematics and use the format :-
N 37 34.ABC E 121 13.DEF where :-
A = Find the Height(H) of Fire Trees, then subtract its width(W)
B = Use the second digit in the number of stainless-steel plates used for Gateway, then subtract the largest diameter (ø) of Growth, and then subtract the lowest value digit of the first mentioned width(W) of Sunshine of Summer
C = The number of Accumulation's water drops added to the number of zeros in the number of copper pipes at Nurturing
D = The difference between the middle and smallest heights(H) of Growth
E = The first mentioned height of Sunshine of Summer, multipy this by the difference between the height(H) and width(W) of Gateway
F = The height(H) of Soar, then subtract the difference between the first two digits of the Tons of Nurturing
