Logs
At morning time a lot of people there. Try to find but not found. Temple just opened and visiting that was nice experience.
The most difficult part is the muggles. Log sheet is full so my log is super blurry, sorry CO. tftc

Again, lot of muggles. Hope no one cares what we were doing!

4th / 8 finds for tonight. Can led us to the gz then we spotted the cache quickly. TFTC!
#4/8 found of the night. canofcoke brought us to the exact GZ and saved us some time for the coming caches-to-be-found. Clear hint and we spotted the cache within minutes. The hardest part is how to grab it where muggles are all around. TFTC!

After the Lamma ride, Joseph brought me to few nearby caches. As I know Tin Hau is the guardian of the sea and Tin Hau temples usually were built beside the sea, I might have a basic idea on the original coastline on the Aberdeen.

Found this one before the event. A easy found if you managed to avoid all those muggles.
Thanks for the cache. Easy with the hint plus previous log. Sharp jafai spot the cache.
4/8 on Southern District car caching afternoon with thinfaifai
Parked on a quiet road above the temple, grabbed the cache, and off we went. TFTC!

Obvious find at a busy place. Luckily the cache is not inside the temple as the smoke was intense. TFTC!
[#54] I misunderstood the hint initially but rectified my mistake very soon. TFTC!
Found this together with Kinglee & Co at a nice night caching event, thanks for bringing me here

First time visiting Aberdeen and an interesting place. Cache was a quick find. TFTC
Easy find on a weekday night with much less muggles around. Revenge mission completed!

I am not a tall guy, that made my search, grab and place quite difficult, especially the muggle factor was quite high in the beginning. Thanks for the hint so that I can focus on the target GZ. It's quite an easy job when the muggles are at manageable level. A relax cache today. TFTC!!
Easy find but cannot be stealth when grab. Squeezed my name at the last empty space.
Yeah!!!! Second time to search for it with Andrew, finally it was on our hands with the hints and comments from the previous logs!
TFTC!

Searched for all the possible objects near an hour at night, still cannot find it 
It will be appreciated if you can give us some more hints ><
Btw, TFTC

Went to the toilet and the rest of the 4 person team went forth to find this one and by the time I got to GZ I got my name on the logsheet already! We had cooling tea at at tea shop nearby and then walked around Aberdeen for a tea break/lunch moments and once we were totally filled we left that area on a bus. All in all, 8.6km done over 4hrs of geocaching hike!
TNLNSL,

Our 3rd find of the day. Good thing there were two kids with me as it enable to pretend to take a photo and search for the cache at the same time. An easy find. TFTC.
Sadly to report a DNF, even with the precise hints. Tried to touch all the possible hiding spots, but couldnt feel any existence of nano cache.
There are so many muggles in daytime, and during the period there, I already saw three police passed by, so very not comfortable to search...finally decide to give up. But will definitely be back for this one!
The temple is very nice though, thanks for the introduction anyway!

When I think back to Aberdeen, the visit to the temple was the only highlight. But the trip to Stanley compensated even more.
Now, greetings from Germany

The world didn't end. Decided to do a bit of geocaching to celebrate. The muggle factor was an issue. Eventually, I pretended taking some artistic photos with special angles and the posture would allow me to retrieve the cache unnoticed. Thanks for the historical info of interest. TFTC!
Found the most obviously object to grab the container on hand within a few minutes.

Quick and easy find at the end of my walk down the hill. Wonder how I missed that last time!
No luck and called the search off as meal time approaches. Will hit the spot again when the crowd dies down (as if it ever does) and try again. Nanos sure ARE tough.
Thanks for the hint.
As mentioned I checked all nearby road signs, and didn't find it...

Dear wvmarle
Please feel free to send message to me, either in goecaching or facebook, but don't use the log as message board.
Checked the cache is still here, after (3) more DNF "not logged" today.

8/10 - a wet day of geocaching around Aberdeen.
Only DNF of the day. The temple is really nice, so the visit was still very much worth it!
A pico (i.e. magnetic) out of the temple area: well that must be some road sign. There are plenty of those, but all came back empty. The roadside fence also nothing. I checked various objects in the front yard of the temple, but also no cache there.
So anyway CO please check, and consider adding a hint.

So sad I had didn't find it. EVEN I had five people in this class and We still can't find it. [:(!] It so hard for us.
Couldn't find the cache. Me and my group searched high and low for it. We didn't even know what it looked like. Could be a black container that is small. Could be a bug-like container. Even worse. It could be a small root in the middle of the soil. My my. It was really hard to find. Spent a good old 30 minutes or more on it. Well, good luck to the next person who tries to find it. We couldn't. 
Will try to verify on this Sat
Pls note this is a nano cache (i.e. very small), for newbie, pls try to google its photo for some reference.

Looked around for a while. Couldn't find it. Too hot today and too many muggles about. Did find a small reptile hiding in the cracks of the steps in front of the temple. May try again before we leave Hong Kong.
