The Tian Tan Buddha , Hong Kong
By Treap777 on 27-Mar-09. Waypoint GC1P67C

Visited this wonderfull area today. A cache near this enormous Bhudda was a bonus.
Treap777, thanks for showing us this place.

Visiting from the US and came to see the Big Buddha today and do some caching. Found this one.

TFTC #6365

The first traditional cache in Hong Kong. Find it easy on our walk in the place up in the mountain. I am traveling with people from Sweden. The plan is to visit some interesting and selected caches here, before we move on to Japan. We have spent a day here before the trip goes on to other interesting places. 5729 cache number, thank you for this cache.

Together with my son, we chose to meet HongKong and Macao and we met many nice places. This was one of them. Thank you for the cache and greeting from Slovakia

Found in our last day in Hong Kong. Took a wooden nickel and left a Mickey mouse. TFTC

En route from Australia back to New York, we stayed last night here in Hong Kong and decided to make a visit today to take the family to see the Great Buddha. Cache is well hid but easily found. Thanks for my first find in Hong Kong and TFTC.

Found already in Firday with Grottenblitz38. TFTC...CLWYMMSD.... Landygeträumt

TFTC. Foggy day

TFTC from 20EP. Met some nice cachers from Switzerland at the cache who beat me to the find!!

Had a short chat - enjoy you trip to Vietnam!

Fund During our holidays, we also came across this cache. For details you may like to translate the german post.

Von Zürich ging es nach Hongkong wo wir einen kurzen Zwischenstopp einlegten vor dem Weiterflug nach Ho Chi Minh.
Lantau liegt da gerade richtig für einen ausgedehnten Ausflug in der Nähe zum Flughafen. Ob es hier immer soviel Leute hat oder ob es ist weil Ostern ist, wissen wir nicht. Auf jeden Fall dauerte es trotz Online_Ticketbezug eine Stunde bis wir es zur Gondel geschafft haben (ohne Ticket gem. Anzeige 90min Wartezeit zusätzlich bis zum Schalter ). Was nimmt man nicht alles in Kauf wenn man schon mal hier ist.
Nach 2/3 Drittel des Weges tauchten wir in den Nebel ein, was ich persönlich stimmungsmässig noch passend fand für die Gegebenheiten vor Ort. Mit der Wartezeit (zürück war es glücklicherweise etwas besser) hat sich unser Aufenthalt zwar etwas verkürzt, es blieb aber trotzdem genug Zeit um alles anzusehen.

Bei diesem Cache trafen wir auf EP20 welcher bereits am suchen war. Danafee war dann die Glückliche die ihn gefunden und aus dem Versteck gezogen hat .

Vielen Dank an Treap777 für's Auslegen und Pflegen
Dies ist mein 4185. Fund

In Hongkong haben Tinu72 und ich eine etwas längere Pause eingeplant. So konnten wir hier den Ausflug machen an diesen schönen Ort. Es hat mir sehr gefallen, es waren nur etwas viele Leute...

Heute, am 24. Tag unserer " Asien - Reise " hatten wir die Möglichkeit, einen weiteren Tag in dem faszinierenden Land " Hong Kong " zu verbringen.

So starteten wir bei strahlendem Sonnenschein und Temperaturen von ca. 29° C am frühen Morgen sogleich zu unserer nächsten spannenden Cacher - Tour in der spektakulären " größten vertikalen Metropole der Welt ", welche uns zunächst auf die berühmte Insel " Lantau " mit Ihren Sehenswürdigkeiten führen sollte.

Nach einer über 5 km (!!!) langen, atemberaubenten Fahrt mit der Seilbahn in schwindelnder Höhe sollte auch sehr gern dem Cache " The Tian Tan Buddha " ein Besuch abgestattet werden.

Dank der genauen Koordinatenangaben kamen wir, meine liebe Holzmichelin und ich, bei einer kleinen, " sportlichen Wanderung " in dieser herrlichen Gegend, zügig zu dem äußerst interessanten und sehr sehenswerten Finalgebiet, wo wir nach kurzem Suchen den " Schatz " schnell finden und problemlos heben konnten.

Mit großer Freude durften wir uns muggelfrei in's " Logbuch " eintragen.

Sehr schöne und pfiffige Versteckidee.

Anschließend noch etwas die äußerst sehenswerte Umgebung mit großen Augen und voller Staunen genossen.

TFTC u. Danke für's " Legen " und Herführen an diese besonders schöne Stelle von " Hong Kong ".

Nette Cachergrüße an den Owner vom Grünbacher Holzmichel aus dem Vogtland / Germany.

Heute am Ostersonntag verbrachten wir, mein lieber Holzmichel und ich, einen weiteren erlebnisreichen Tag in Hong Kong. Am frühen Morgen fuhren wir mit dem Cacher-Taxi auf die Insel Lantau, um auch hier einige sehr interessante Caches zu besuchen. Nach einer aufregenden schwindelerregenden ca, 5,5 km langen Seilbahnfahrt erreichten wir den oberen Teil von Lantau. Sogleich kamen wir, dank der genauen Listungskoordinaten, zu dem Cache "The Tian Tan Buddha".
Nach kurzer Suche hielten wir dann auch freudig den "begehrten Schatz" in unseren Händen und konnten uns in das Logbuch einschreiben.
Danke an den Owner für's Herführen in diese sehr schöne Gegend.

A foggy day, but still very beautiful and peaceful place. Needed to search a little bit, but found it after ca 10 mins )) TFTC

Quick find on a very rainy visit to the famous Buddha!

Glad to find a decent sized cache particularly where it is situated. Thanks for the cache!

Amazed to find GZ so quiet after all the people around the base of the Buddha, tftc

Nice hide SL TFTC

Easy grab SL TFTC

Thank you for the cache and greetings from Finland.

Day 2 in Hong Kong

With the caching challenge out of the way yesterday, today's agenda was rather more for picking up any remaining caches on my list, and to go up to Ngong Ping for a little highland walk. The weather continues to be fairly decent, with some clouds, a little rain and a spot of sunshine here and there. Another very good set of caches were picked up with a couple of highlights and interesting finds. This trip to Hong Kong may be short, but it has been a nice and memorable one.

—————————-

Well, if only all impromptu caches lead to such great popularity... anyway, it’s nice that your serendipitous trip to HK landed you here, and gave us all a nice physical cache to find up here. Took a little time to circle round the area and clambered on a few rocks to get to the cache, which was still all nice and well after all this time. TFTC!

Thanks for the cache.
Team Wolf-Hagen

Visited it during 23-days geotrip to Dubai, China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Philipines, Hong Kong, Macau with Marci. Sometimes we logged as "MT". We apologize for problem with our pen today, so sometimes our nick will be unreaded. Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czech Republic EU.

I found the hide pretty quickly after visiting the Buddha, thank you for placing a cache here, greetings from England. M0zez

Aquilus1 and myself decided on a bit of a whim to come to Hong Kong and surrounds when we saw a crazy special for super cheap flights.... and who doesnt like to add a few countries and five states to the stats?

We of course targetted FTF, oldies, virtuals, D/T, countries and states.... as well as one of my two missing dates. Some of the caches we found were well out of the way, the worst required a ferry, a train, two buses, a taxi then a 3km walk that culminated with a descent using ropes followed by extreme rock hopping.... I can see how we picked up 10 years of unlove on the trip.

The other highlight was picking up another FTF in mainland China.... we had to race for it! ALmost 2 months after publishing we ound it without any issues. We left several pathtags and a TB.

We had an event during the trip which resulted in us doing some impromptu late night caching when I really should have been asleep and a strange desert. Oh, and I was handed about 10 TB's to take back to Australia as well.... the locals will love that!

We experienced the full gamut of different Customs practices as we seemed to cross a border every day of the trip.... mainland China and then Macau being the other
countries' that we visited in the 4 day trip. Soooo different to HK, in very different ways from each other, its funny that they are so close together.

We are leaving today so came over to Lantau on the way to the sirport to grab the nice variety of hides here. This one is nicely located

GreyHams and myself took advantage of some ridiculously cheap flights and booked a trip across to Hong Kong for the weekend, well... a long weekend!

With a list of some targeted caches, including a FTF, virtuals, oldies, DT, dates and challenge fillers, mixed in with some sight seeing along the way lead to a very interesting and enjoyable trip. We visited three counties in as many days, added 5 states, walked to we ached and then walked some more! Some standout locations visited, some for a cache or two others because they were too cool not to visit.

We held an event that saw us out with some local cachers finding a few caches very late at night after a very long day and then joined them for what I thought was soup but ended up being a desert at the end of the evening. Was good to talk caching with some local people, and was an experience to remember.

Based in Hong Kong but gave the passport a good work out with visits to Mainland China and Macau as well, have that passport number memorised well and truly now. All three countries so close together but very different from each other in their customs and identities and provided some memorable moments.

Many standout moments, including a china FTF. A #5000 milestone involved taking a ferry, two trains, a bus, a taxi and then a 3km hike, a rope climb down to the shore and then rock hopping for an endless long time alone the shore line and then did it all again on the way back!!! Many thanks to the CO's for their caches that help guide us around to many different locations and added to the experience.

Last day in HK and after all the walking of the last few days the up to the top was a push but worth the walk up. Left a Path Tag, if you take it please log it.

The idea was to log this caceh and the take the road downwards to avoid all these steps... Did not work
So I just found this container.

Danke an treap777 für den Cache!

Very foggy today but still spectacular. TFTC!

Easy find while checking out the area! Such a rainy and windy area.

After heading back from Macao using the HZMB, I decided to go up to see the Buddha and watch the sunset. It was a great experience!

What an amazing trip with Kurt and Vicki and Built-Ford-Tough. Thanks

Once again a crazy group has set off to visit distant countries.
Already at the beginning of the year we travelled with 35 participants from Germany and Switzerland this time Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and China.
Besides the sightseeing we also visited some caches. We also tried some culinary specialties. Some of them took a lot of getting used to.
I thank all fellow travellers for the nice company, the nice time spent together.
Thanks to all owners for the elaboration, the furnishing and the care of the partly very creative caches. Also through you our hobby becomes possible.
During the two weeks of our trip we visited numerous Multis and Mysteries but even more Tradies, some Wherigo, Virtuals and a few Letterboxes.
Please excuse the unity log, but with the number of caches, the abundance of impressions it is hard to write anything for each one. The answers to Earthcache questions and to the Virtuals were sent to the owners for the group.
The logbooks were signed by us with GIGA2019 / Germany is going Asia 2019 to save space.




Wieder ein mal ist eine verrückte Gruppe aufgebrochen, ferne Länder zu besuchen.
Schon zu Beginn des Jahres bereisten wir mit 35 Teilnehmern aus Deutschland und der Schweiz diesmal Hongkong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, Südkorea und China.
Neben der Besichtigung von Sehenswürdigkeiten wurden natürlich auch einige Caches beehrt. Auch kulinarische Besonderheiten haben wir versucht. Einige waren schon sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig.
Ich danke allen Mitreisenden für die nette Begleitung, die schöne, miteinander verbrachte Zeit.
Danke an alle Owner für die Ausarbeitung, Einrichtung und das Hegen und Pflegen der teilweise sehr kreativen Caches. Auch durch Euch wird unser Hobby erst möglich.
In den zwei Wochen unserer Reise besuchten wir zahlreiche Multis und Mysterys jedoch noch mehr Tradies, einige Wherigo, Virtuals und wenige Letterboxen.
Bitte entschuldigt den Einheitslog, bei der Anzahl der Caches, der Fülle von Eindrücken ist es jedoch schwer zu jedem einzelnen was zu schreiben. Die Antworten zu Earthcache-Fragen und zu den Virtuals wurden für die Gruppe an die Owner gesendet.
Die Logbücher wurden von uns platzsparend mit GIGA2019 / Germany is going Asia 2019 signiert.

Es gibt sehr viel zu sehen und neue Eindrücke zu verarbeiten... und viele, viele Döschen, die gefunden werden wollen und Caches, die geloggt werden wollen.

Herzlichen Dank / Thank you for the cache.

Als kleine Gruppe mit dem Namen GiGa2019 sind wir in Frankfurt ???? gestartet und über Zürich ???? nach Hongkong ???? geflogen, wo unsere Asien Rundreise begann. Über Macau ???? ging es weiter nach Taipeh ???? von dort nach Fukuoka ???? und zum Schluss ging es über Busan ???? nach Peking ???? wo wir die Rückreise nach Frankfurt ???? antraten.

Damit wir nicht gerade alle Logbücher zum überquellen bringen, haben wir die Tradis, Multi, Mysterys, Letterboxen und Wherigo mit dem Namen GiGa2019 unterzeichnet. Für die Virtuellen ?? und die EC ?? hat sich jeweils einer erklärt, die Antworten für unsere Truppe dem Owner zuzusenden.

Die Events die wir auf der Reise ?? besuchten, waren immer wieder ein paar einheimische Cacher dabei und machten sie so zu was ganz speziellem.

Die Eindrücke die man bei so einer Reise ?? sammelt kann man kaum in Worte fassen und muss man einfach selber erleben. Einmal den Buddha in Hongkong zu sehen oder das Bunte treiben in einer der anderen Stadt kann man nicht beschreiben muss man einfach erleben. Mein persönliches Highlight der Reise war sicherlich auf der Chinesischen Mauer zu stehen.

Ein Dank an alle die unser Hobby durch ihr Engagement so toll und einzigartig machen.

In February 2019, Ms. Brummelbär made her way to Asia with a group of travel-loving geocachers. The tour of Cacher-Reisen.de led to Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and China. On the way we logged as a group in a space-saving way with GiGA 2019.

Today we had a great day in Hong Kong, which we started very early and ended very late. The pedometer on the wrist was tormented, rarely made so many steps ....
This cache was deliberately chosen for our round.

Thank you for laying and maintaining this cache say the Brummelbären from Worms / Germany.


Im Februar 2019 machte sich Frau Brummelbär mit einer Gruppe reiselustiger Geocacher auf den Weg nach Asien. Die Tour von Cacher-Reisen.de führte nach Hongkong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, Süd-Korea und China. Unterwegs haben wir als Gruppe platzschonend mit GiGA 2019 geloggt.

Heute hatten wir einen großartigen Tag in Hongkong, den wir sehr früh gestartet und sehr spät beendet haben. Der Schrittzähler am Handgelenk wurde gequält, selten so viele Schritte gemacht....
Dieser Cache wurde bewußt für unsere Runde ausgesucht.

Danke für das Legen und Pflegen dieses Caches sagen die Brummelbären aus Worms/Deutschland.

Zum Team GiGa19 gehörend besuchte ich auch diesen Cache. TFTC

What a nice trip together with 34 other Cachers.

We signed all boxes with Team "GIGA19".
We visited during 14 days Hongkong, Macao, Taipeh, Fukuoka, Busan and Beijing. We meet some other Cachers and Owners and have seen many beautiful places with their help.
Thanks to all who made this all possible.
Greetings from Good Old Germany.

Next journey we started is going Asia in a group of 35 geocachers. We logged with our teamname GiGA 19, means Germay is going Asia in 2019 to save time and space in the logbooks.
Our trip was amazing, I saw many places I had on my ToDo list, but never thought that I will see them in this live. Many thanks to all owners, your caches are awesome.
We visited Hongkong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and China.
Unfortunately was no time to see all attractions of the towns we have been. But I am sure we will come back someday.


Unsere nächste große Reise mit 35 Gleichgesinnten ging über Zürich nach Hongkong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, Südkorea und Peking. Es war eine sehr spannende Reise, wir haben viel erlebt und gesehen!
Vielen Dank an alle Owner, eure Dose sind toll. Leider wird es ein Einheitslog von mir geben, denn wir haben einfach zu viele Dosen besucht um sie alle individuell loggen zu können.
Das Essen wra teilweise gewöhnungsbedürftig, sowohl was das Aussehen als auch den Geschmack betraf. Aber ich habe es überlebt und noch nicht einmal abgenommen!
Während wir auf unseren Weiterflug gewartet haben mussten wir die Zeit natürlich mit Dosensuchen füllen, vertsteh sich ja von selbst, oder?
Geloggt haben wir als Germany is going Asia 2019, Kurz: GiGA19 um die Logbücher zu schonen.

Unsere großartige Asienreise in der Gruppe von 35 Geocachern führte uns in 2 Wochen über Hongkong, Macao, Taiwan (Taipeh), Japan (Fukuoka), Korea (Busan) letztlich nach China (Peking) bevor es von dort wieder nach Deutschland zurück ging. Und überall lagen tolle Dosen auf unserem Weg, welche unter dem Teamaccount "GiGa19" geloggt wurden.
Vielen Dank für die bleibenden Eindrücke auf dieser Reise und die Möglichkeit diesen Cache zu finden.

Day 3 of our great tour to Asia: Spent the whole day in the city of Hong Kong with some local cachers who showed us their city.

What can a cacher do in a typical German winter? Why not travel, to Asia for two weeks in order to visit the six countries Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and China together with 34 other crazy cachers? During this trip we have received many interesting and beautiful impressions, had a lot of fun, tasted all kinds of beer and searched and found many caches, of course. In order to spare the logbooks as well as the owners' nerves, we logged with the collective name GigA19 (Germany is going Asia 2019) or sent the answers to earth caches and virtuals under this name. Since we found an enourmous amount of caches and since I cannot recall every detail, please excuse this uniform log. It is not my habit to log like this!

Thanks a lot to all the cache owners for their motivation to provide the caching world with caches and to also maintain them - you are the ones that make our hobby possible!

Zusammen mit 35 anderen Cachern ging es heute los zu einer Reise durch Asien um dort den ein oder anderen Länderpunkt zu holen und auch andere Kulturen und Leute kennen zu lernen.
Es wurden die Länder Hong-Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, Südkorea und China besucht und auch überall zum Teil sehr kreative Caches gefunden.
Vielen Dank an die verschiedenen Ownern für die Dosen. Da es in kurzer Zeit so viele waren gibt es leider nur einen Einheitslog.

Die Reise hat viel Spaß gemacht, wir konnten viele verschiedene Essen probieren die zum Teil etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig waren und viele interessante Eindrücke mit nach Hause nehmen. Leider war der Urlaub viel zu schnell wieder vorbei.
Um Platz im Logbuch zu sparen haben wir als Team GigA19 geloggt.

Together with 35 other cachers today we went on a journey through Asia to get there one or the other country point and also to get to know other cultures and people.
The countries Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and China were visited and found everywhere partly very creative caches.
Many thanks to the various owners for the caches. Since there were so many in a short time, unfortunately there is only one unit log.

The trip was a lot of fun, we were able to try many different foods that were a bit strange and took many interesting impressions home. Unfortunately the holiday was over too fast.
To save space in the logbook we logged as Team GiGA19.

Kennst Du die Stadt im frohen Festesglanze?
Es dehnt sich rings ein duft'ger Wiesenplan,

Crazy, 35 Geocacher's from Germany and Switzerland joined for an Asia trip.
Sightseeing, geocaching, having fun, explore new city's and countries, experience new food, enjoy vacation together and meet old friends or make new friends, that was our mission.
Our route as "GiGA19" had several stations, like Hongkong, Macao, Taipeh, Fukuoka, Busan and Bejing.
Every location was it's own experience and adventure, every area had his own style of Geocaches.
Thanks to the Owner of the cache, which made the way into our route to explore the urban and see it by a different angle than a tourist.
We enjoyed to be there and collected a lot of impressions. The little yellow Smile on the Map will be now the point to remember the adventure.

Questions Of Travel
(Elizabeth Bishop)
There are too many waterfalls here; the crowded streams
hurry too rapidly down to the sea,
and the pressure of so many clouds on the mountaintops
makes them spill over the sides in soft slow-motion,
turning to waterfalls under our very eyes.
- For if those streaks, those mile-long, shiny, tearstains,
aren't waterfalls yet,
in a quick age or so, as ages go here,
they probably will be.
But if the streams and clouds keep travelling, travelling,
the mountains look like the hulls of capsized ships,
slime-hung and barnacled.

Think of the long trip home.
Should we have stayed at home and thought of here?
Where should we be today?
Is it right to be watching strangers in a play
in this strangest of theatres?
What childishness is it that while there's a breath of life
in our bodies, we are determined to rush
to see the sun the other way around?
The tiniest green hummingbird in the world?
To stare at some inexplicable old stonework,
inexplicable and impenetrable,
at any view,
instantly seen and always, always delightful?
Oh, must we dream our dreams
and have them, too?
And have we room
for one more folded sunset, still quite warm?

But surely it would have been a pity
not to have seen the trees along this road,
really exaggerated in their beauty,
not to have seen them gesturing
like noble pantomimists, robed in pink.
- Not to have had to stop for gas and heard
the sad, two-noted, wooden tune
of disparate wooden clogs
carelessly clacking over
a grease-stained filling-station floor.
(In another country the clogs would all be tested.
Each pair there would have identical pitch.)
- A pity not to have heard
the other, less primitive music of the fat brown bird
who sings above the broken gasoline pump
in a bamboo church of Jesuit baroque:
three towers, five silver crosses.

- Yes, a pity not to have pondered,
blurr'dly and inconclusively,
on what connection can exist for centuries
between the crudest wooden footwear
and, careful and finicky,
the whittled fantasies of wooden cages
- Never to have studied history in
the weak calligraphy of songbirds' cages.
- And never to have had to listen to rain
so much like politicians' speeches:
two hours of unrelenting oratory
and then a sudden golden silence
in which the traveller takes a notebook, writes:

'Is it lack of imagination that makes us come
to imagined places, not just stay at home?
Or could Pascal have been not entirely right
about just sitting quietly in one's room?

Continent, city, country, society:
the choice is never wide and never free.
And here, or there... No. Should we have stayed at home,
wherever that may be? '

Together with a group of 35 geocachers, I visited Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and China within two weeks.

It was a great tour with a lot of new impressions and of course many new geocaches . Besides numerous Tradis and many Mysteries there were of course also some Wherigos, Letterboxes, Virtuals and Earthcaches on the program.
In addition, we organized and visited several events where we also met local geocachers.
In order to spare the logbooks, we have each entered there with the abbreviation **GiGa19** and sent the answers to the Virtuals and Earthcaches collected to the owners.

Due to the multitude of visited geocaches, unfortunately, I am no longer able to write an own log entry for everyone, which is why I ask the owners to forgive me for this unified log ...

In any case, a big thank you goes to all owners for the creativity in hiding the cans, for the interesting puzzles and wherigos, the instructive Earthcaches and the great Virtuals - TFTC !!

Zusammen mit einer Gruppe von 35 Geocachern besuchte ich innerhalb von zwei Wochen Hongkong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, Südkorea und China.

Es wurde eine tolle Tour mit sehr vielen neuen Eindrücken und natürlich vielen neuen Dosen . Neben zahlreichen Tradis und vielen Mysteries standen natürlich auch einige Wherigos, Letterboxen, Virtuals und Earthcaches auf dem Programm.
Zudem veranstalteten und besuchten wir einige Events, bei denen wir auch auf einheimische Geocacher trafen.
Um die Logbücher zu schonen, haben wir uns dort jeweils mit dem Kürzel **GiGa19** eingetragen und die Antworten zu den Virtuals und Earthcaches gesammelt an die Owner gesendet.

Aufgrund der Vielzahl der besuchten Geocaches ist es mir leider nicht mehr möglich, für jeden einen eigenen Logeintrag zu schreiben, weshalb ich die Owner darum bitte, mir diesen Einheitslog zu verzeihen ...

In jedem Fall bleibt bei allen Ownern ein großes Dankeschön für die Kreativität beim Verstecken der Dosen, für die interessanten Rätsel und Wherigos, die lehrreichen Earthcaches und die tollen Virtuals - TFTC!!

Together with a group of 35 geocachers, they traveled through Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and China within two weeks.
To protect the logbooks, we have decided on the team name "GiGa19". This stands for "Germany is Going Asia 19" and was entered by us in most cases in the logs.
On the trip many impressions of new cultures were recorded for me. In addition to many very different caches were also visited a few events. We also made some contacts with local cachers.
Thanks to their recommendations, we also came to some special cache that you would not have visited without the tips.

My thanks go to all owners, who have provided with their cans for a lot of variety on this trip.
For Earthcache and Virtuals, the aggregated information for the group was sent from one person to the owner.
Please excuse the unit log but there were just too many cache in a short time.

Thanks for laying and maintaining this cache.

Zusammen mit einer Gruppe von 35 Geocachern ging es innerhalb von zwei Wochen durch Hongkong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, Südkorea und China.
Um die Logbücher zu schonen haben wir uns für den Teamnamen "GiGa19" entschieden. Dieser steht für "Germany is Going Asia 19" und wurde von uns in den meisten Fällen in die Logbücher eingetragen.
Auf der Reise wurden viele Eindrücke von für mich neuen Kulturen aufgenommen. Neben vielen sehr unterschiedlichen Cachen wurden wurden auch ein paar Events besucht. Dabei konnten wir auch einige Kontakte zu einheimischen Cachern knüpfen.
Dank deren Empfehlungen kamen wir auch zu einigen speziellen Cache, die man ohne die Tipps nicht unbedingt aufgesucht hätte.

Mein Dank gilt allen Ownern, die mit ihren Dosen für viel Abwechslung auf dieser Reise gesorgt haben.
Für die Earthcache und Virtuals wurden die zusammen getragenden Informationen für die Gruppe von einer Person an die Owner geschickt.
Bitte entschuldigt den Einheitslog aber es waren einfach zu viele Cache in kurzer Zeit.

Danke für das Legen und Pflegen dieses Caches.

# Germany is Going Asia 19 /GiGa19
In a group of 35 geocachers, mainly from Germany, we are traveling around Asia.
Hongkong - Macao - Taiwan - Japan - South Korea - Peking
The first station is Hongkong.

To visit the big Budda was a must do for Hongkong. I came by cable car and walked down to collect as well the caches along the trail.
The caches a the trail were sometimes easy but also a lot of needs to be climbed beside or difficult to find. But all were dine with fun.

Thank you for leading me through this way down.

Many greetings from Germany

I found this cache during a four days trip from France to Hong-Kong.

No problem here, the cache is quickly localised.

Merci Treap777 pour la cache et la balade.

*Des nouvelles de la cache :*
*Contenant : Bien en place et en parfait état*
*Logbook : Rien de particulier à signaler*

Cette cache était ma 9485ème trouvaille, le 1 février 2019 à 15:36.

16 of 16 caches found today along Ngong Ping Rescue Trail. The hike was full of stairs but the cool weather made it a bit more pleasant.

Easy find! Good to have a cache up here! TFTC!

Endlich ist es soweit. Unsere Hochzeitsreise hat begonnen. Den ersten Zwischenhalt gibt es hier in Hongkong. Die Zeit zwischen den Flügen genutzt und mit der Gondel auf den Berg zum Budda gefahren. Von dort dann zurück zum Flughafen gelaufen. Vielen Dosen gefunden. Diese gehörte auch dazu. Dfdc

Nach einem 12-Stündigen Flug von Zürich nach Hongkong mit Heckenstürmer die Pause zum Weiterflug genutzt und mit der Seilbahn hoch gefahren und dann die vielen vielen Treppenstufen runtergewandert...

16/18 found today. We hiked from tung chung to ngong ping. It took us around 5 hours to finish the trail.

After finished the rescue trail, we climbed up to the big buddha. Haven't been here since primary school. TFTC!

And finally also our first 'real' cache in Hong Kong.
Nice to have a real cache here!

treap777, thanks for creating and maintaining this cache!

My first cache in Hong Kong TFTC! but logpaper was wet - therefore I took a distress log

Beautiful spot right near the Buddha. Easy, but fun find!

From the 28th of December to the 2nd of January I was on a small trip to **Hong Kong** and **Macao** and was able to find some caches… [^]

Today we visited the *Ngong Ping Village* with the *Tian Tan Buddha* and the *Po Lin Monastery*, which we arrived by the *Ngong Ping 360* gondola... The sun was shining, as we walked upstairs to the big Buddha... After that, I also walked to this cache, which I quickly found and pleased I documented my presence...

"Thanks for the cache" says ***Kleinzschachwitzer*** from Germany

We made an early morning trip on the 360 cable car and avoided the worst of the crowds. Still plenty around but fortunately a quiet spot for the hide.

Impressive spot and TFTC

Thought we would have to do a spot of rock climbing here. Luckily not. Just a spot of avoiding gardeners and their trolleys! Tftc

A quick find with chermione. Thanks.

Unbelievable to find such a quiet spot near the Big Buddha! Thank you for the cache!

Found after a short search, logging in field, TFTC.

Gevonden op deze mooie plek. Bedankt
country out

I searched in the pouring rain but could not find it. With sunshine and a little bit more patience it might have been different. But on this day the Buddha was crying heavily.

Während dem Transit Aufenthalt in Hong Kong gefunden. Tftc schlumpftrupp

Thanks for the Cache at this very nice location.

My first geocache in Hongkong!

Tftc. Tb in.

I found not one but two cache containers. The rectangular one was flooded and log unusable, so I signed in the cylindrical one. Quite interesting to find a traditional cache all the way up here. TFTC

Was very chuffed to find this cache with no working maps or gps! I got the general gist from previous logs and tried to use my geosense and amazingly I found it whoooo! Perhaps I was watched over well by the Buddah. Log is a bit damp. No swaps in container so I put in an Australian Aboriginal flag keyring. TFTC

I hiked up from town on the rescue trail with a friend. It was a bit longer than I anticipated but still a good hike. We stopped for this one since we were so close. The coords were spot on and the cache is in good shape. TFTC

Such a secluded place so near to such a big tourist draw... TFTC!

Together with guest cacher Yi Tan the search for this cache was fun. The location is perfect at this place.
Thanks for the cache

Great hike up the stairs to the Buddha. Thanks for the hide

Great find, was able to share find with new friends, all very happy.

Found cache while touring from the United States. Thanks for hiding it.

Found along with Katch Krazy and the help of a friend from Nova Scotia Canada. Thanks for hiding. Good location.

Die Dose konnte sich nicht lange vor uns verstecken, gut das hier nicht so viel los ist. TFTC

Die Dose könnten wir gut finden. Tftc

Nice place here to relax. Thanks for the cache. Many many muggles around but on the cache site more easier trafic. I took few minutes to find it and seems to be not following the hint.
Tak nahore už to byla pohoda po vydýchání nekolika schodu a priblížení na GZ. Sem tam se objevil mudla hledající pekný záber sedícího budhy ale jinak klid na lov. Keš není umístená podle hintu ale pozornému oku kacera neunikne. Opet nádhera, místo, výhled, sveží vítr, slunícko. Nakonec bude asi toto moje nejjižnejší keš neb více na jih se už behem tohoto pobytu v HK nechystáme. No nechám se prekvapit statistikou a uvidím jestli muj výpocet bude stejný jako ten oficiální. Veliké díky za krabicku na jedinecném míste.

This is my first geocaching trip to Asia. After arriving to Hong Kong Thursdag, I met my Swedish Friends, and then we took the Subway to a special cache. But we found a few more in the same area. Friday, Ingabo and I took a trip to Shenzhen, to log China. We had 5 DNF before finding the first cache. After more then 10 km walking, we had no more caches in the area and were OK with 3 found logs. Saturday I logged my third country in three days, since we went to Macau. We had about 20 km of walking and found 25 caches and also visited a CITO. On Sunday we took the cable car to Ngong Ping nand then walked back. It was a hard walk up and down. We just made it back to City center and my event there.

Thanks for the cache.

Together with Torado and Sivun on a daytrip to Ngong Ping. We took the cable car up the mountain and walked the rescue track down. A lot of stairs both up and down. We had a small walk of 7km at the summit level first before we headed downwards ending up in 17 km. In total a great caching day in fine weather. I heard something of aching limbs from my fellow cachers but that must be fake news ?!
Thanks for putting a cache here for me to enjoy and find.

Found the cache today on my last day of this beautyful holiday. It was a long trip started in Beijing & with 5 TB's from The Netherlands. All but one have been dropped here, and i have picked up two to bring home. So nice! Thanks.

Dank je wel voor het bedenken, opstellen van het verhaal, plaatsen en onderhouden van deze cache, CO! Ik waardeer elke ondekking, en geniet van deze hobby.

Cache nummer:565

Picked this hobby this year. Enjoy every find! Realy fun.

Doing some sightseeing with muggle friends, was obligatory to do some geocacheing and spread the good word of it. Hint was helpful, GPS was lost. Great place! TFTC and greetings from Finland

Quick find and a good place for a cache! From here you get a nice view on buddha. TFTC

Visited here today, just a couple of days after Typhoon Manghut. The cache has survived! I dropped off the TB Rex which I picked up yesterday, he wants to travel and he has already been to the UK where I am headed next, best wishes for your onward travels.

During my stay in hongkong with meiga69 we visited a few caches. Thank you for the cache.

Meanrasa and I were a bit lost in the beginning just to find out it could have been a quick and easy find Beautiful spot, t4tc!

after my delicious vegetarian lunch and visit to the temple I went up the stairs, just a few more... I didn't know IO would have many more on my way further up and down
Nice hide for a quick find
