Geocache Description:

ENGLISH Version:

Nanjing is a historic city. In chinese, Nanjing's also called as The Stone City or The Capital of Six Past Dynasties. Long and high ramparts are commonly standing in the city. Exist from hundreds years ago.

The cache was a black film canister (initially,changed now),lays in a public park. You may access the park from two directions just start from two different City Gates and along the rampart. So there are two options.

OPTION One:

1) start from the Gate XXX
N 32 05.612
E118 44.528

2) Along the trail on the foot the rampart,get to the point
N 32 05.480
E118 44.510
Here you will find a carved stone. There are two 4-number sequences.The first is 1374,another is 19AB.
BTW,there is a toilet nearby.

3)Find the next point
N 32 05.(A-1)(B+1)0
E118 44.A(B-1)(A+B+1)
Here please count the wooden benchs = C

4)The ground zero
N 32 05.C(A+B)(A+C+1)
E118 44.(C+1)(A+C+1)B

OPITON Two (a bit more complex):

1) start from the Gate YYY
N 32 05.329
E118 44.500
Pls find out one 3-number sequence- AB6 somewhere.
BTW,there is a toilet nearby.

2) Find the next point
N 32 05.A(B-1)0
E118 44.(A+1)(B+1)0
Here please count the number of lions= C

3)The ground zero
N 32 05.A(B+1)(C-1)
E118 44.(A+1)C(A-1)
Please touch the bricks of the rampart,maybe you can feel the stories.

In weekend afternoon, there are many new couples in wedding dress taking photoes or videos. All couples will take a hand-in-hand video in running alone the trail on the foot of the rampart.It means run to the happiness future.
Also there are many mugglers nearby. Be patient if you are too noticeable for the cache is not easy to get.You may play around the leisure park in first and wait for the best opportunity. From one of the two gates, you may reach the top of the rampart there is a different landscape. Don't miss it.

If you are not tall enough, you have to climb onto the rampart by foot and hands. The cache is in about 2.2m height.
Please keep the paper tag enclosed and leave it towards the direction of outside. Or it's hard to get the cache out : )
Wish each geocacher who find the cache may help upload A PHOTO of the cache. Just like my photo - "The film canister" to make sure the cache is in good condition.
Thanks!

There are one Turkish coin (taken out),one Chinese coin and two pcs paper for log. No pen or pencil in.

Happy Geocaching!
