Quick find with Mrs. and Mr. cornishcay. Luckily the heritage site nearby was open, so we could combine exercise and learning a bit about Hakka architecture. TFTH and for bringing us here.
Our 658th FIND in Hong Kong 
We visited the washroom at the nearby hotel before arriving at this heritage building [8)]
The hint gave away where to search but Mtakagi needed a few more minutes to find the really tiny container here
Miss Cornishcay was first to see it when I thought it would be hidden somewhere else at GZ
TFTC - we visited the house for a quick tour and the security lady was kind enough to explain different features of this ancient architecture to us

After finding the new cache on top of the nearby hill, I was heading back to my hotel and, of course, I could not walk past this cache without checking it out.
7am in the morning is not the ideal time to find this cache. There were a few seniors availing themselves of the exercise equipment and I wandered around trying to work out what the clue applied to.
Finally I spotted the answer and headed to it to fiond that I could search out of the gaze of the exercisers.
It took a while before my searching fingers discovered something that felt out of place and I withdrew the cache. The house was shut so I couldn't check it out.
TFTC.

DNF #2. A day of bicycle geocaching: 17 finds on 22 visits.
Hint was obvious but no cache in there.
House at GZ is really cool. Very well preserved, very interesting to visit. Makes the stop totally worth it, cache or no cache.

Found the cache without much difficulty.
Had a long chat with the security lady in the house. Thanks her for teaching me a great lesson.

Yay! Wow. That's a pretty cool cache. I'm sure you've all seen that type, but that's a first for me.
Got to look around the house for awhile. It's pretty big for being so old and we noticed that there are four staircases to four upstairs rooms, but two of the rooms connect. Interesting how they collected water from the roof into the courtyard.

The best timing to visit here is of course during the opening hour! You can't just look for a cache without some sightseeing, right?
The cache is nicely hidden, took me more time than expected to discover it. Fortunately this is a rainy morning, so no elder muggles is using the Taiji Wheels, allowing me to search freely!
TFTC and introduction to this nice Old House!

#33 Using the hint, this is a quick grab. Got bitten by midges when sitting down to sign the log sheet.

Found within 5 seconds on my second touch! Phew, finally no need to sit in the blazing sun [^] Apparently missed previous cachers by no more than half an hour. TFTC!
[254] I do want to put a cache there before, but every time it was closed when i visit.
So good, CO put a cache there, then i can claim a smiley.
Early morning bike to grab it, around 6am, expecting muggle free, but gz was occupied by oldies practising "Cheung Sam Fung", then i try to "play" against them and finally grab that little evil.

Good hint; needed tweezers to extract logbook. Had seen this old house when living in Sha Tin but first time to visit.
This one easy to find and sign the log. TFTC! 
The house not yet open for visitors only walked around outside the house.
