Geocache Description:

The cache is near the Foreigner Cemetery in Changzhou, Guangzhou.

Changzhou is an island in Pearl River, where the Huangpu Military Academy located. It has a long history, with some cultural scenic spots in it.

Foreigner Cemetery buries the foreigners who lived in Guangzhou in 19 century. It was overgrown due to the maintenance having been stopped.

Though the Foreigner Cemetery is one of the travel spot in Changzhou, but few people know where it locates, even the localite.

Ask the resident how to go there when you near the cache. There are two paths to the Foreigner Cemetery, the main entrance is through an outdoor restaurant, the other is not easy to find and overgrown. Terrain difficulty 3.25 is rated as the second path, it will be easier if you go the first path.

--------- Chinese ------------
清朝时期广州作为通商口岸，长洲是外国人聚居的地方，外国人墓地就是那时形成的。说是坟墓，其实鬼佬的墓地并没有令人恐怖之感，简单的碑石，上面铭刻着逝者的姓名、忌日，有些还有一句话的生平介绍。我倒是觉得比中国人的墓有美感多了。

这个地方虽然已经成为长洲历史文化景点之一，当地人却极少知道它在哪里，我们花了不少周折才找到。不过现在，如果你有GPS就很简单了:)

墓地在小山包上，进入的路有两条，正式的入口要经过穿过一个农庄餐厅，另一条路没有完全修好。小路上杂草丛生，蚂蚁非常厉害，去的时候穿长裤才好，我们这次穿短裤，还要驮着自行车，完全是一次山地历险:) 地形系数3.25是根据第二条路评定的。

Cache放置在墓地的附近，是一个塑料密实盒。
