That's actually something you can't do from China. In honor of my Chinese son, Beijing Robber, You must google the answers to find the "real" coordinates to this geocache hide. The Geocache IS NOT hidden at the posted coordinates. We are actually going to calculate the final using Beijing China's Map Coordinates.
