Kowloon Park Tour Kowloon, Hong Kong
By wanrex on 13-Jan-16. Waypoint GC695Q4

#7617 - 15:50; Arrived in Hong Kong yesterday late and after collecting a cache on the island close to the hotel, the geohoney and I headed over to Kowloon to see how much things had changed since our last visit thirty something years ago. After a little look around, the geohoney headed off on some retail therapy and I headed to the park for some caching. I had collected a few caches around the park and decided that the visit would not be complete without this one. I remembered one of the answers from my earlier travels, then set off to gather the rest of the required information. Once I had the information, I did the final calculations and headed for GZ. In the end I had to check the spoiler, but unlike the previous 'finder', I arrived at GZ and located the log to which I have added my name! This one has earned a well deserved favourite from me for too many reasons to list here. TFTC wanrex

Made for a nice morning stroll in the park, and the first cache in Hong Kong. Tftc!

just logging my TB's visit

Another cache found in Hong Kong! Missa25 did most of the work. This cache takes you on a great walk around the park. Missa25 heads home today and I'll miss her. TFTC

I'd also like to congratulate Missa25 on making this her 200th find.

Find number 200!! Nice to mark this milestone in another country before I head home tonight. Beautiful tour around this park which is a hidden gem inside a busy city. Found with Jeanovanwam.

The original coordinates I entered took me to the temple Street market! My mistake as all the data I had was correct. Once I used the checker it became clear. Thanks for the fun tour of the park!

I've been coming to Hong Kong for business for many years but I've never visited this amazing park. Great multi and a great hide! Tftc.

Yesterday, we spent some time in Kowloon park, which turned out to be a great park. We loved the wild birds here. For this cache, we also found the answers for all questions. But we didn't have internet, so we could not check the spoiler picture. So yesterday evening, we checked the coordinate in our hotel and we got the necessary info. This morning, we made a quick visit to the park, and we could immediately find the cache. Great hide! Logged together with DECS1.

TFTC!

Found while visiting Hong Kong aboard the ms Amsterdam. We enjoyed walking the park and gathering the required information. But after we computed and confirmed the final coordiinates, the challenge really began. Our GPS did have a hard time getting a stable signal in the park today, but the computed coordinates actually took us to what seemed like a likely spot, where there were a few people relaxing or doing Tai Chi. We searched the area thoroughly but unsuccessfully, and we were about to quit when we decided to expand the search area and give it one more try. After that, we quickly found the cache about 120 feet SE of the computed coordinates, according to our GPS, in a spot that matched the hint exactly. We never were able to see a spoiler photo or additional hint on the coordinate checker site. Overall, this is a very nicely done cache in a beautiful park, and we appreciate it.

We are on the Holland America Amsterdam sailing from Ft Lauderdale around the world. We arrived from Santa Marta Columbia, the Panama Canal, Puntarenus Costa Rica, Corinto Nicaragua, Puerto Quetzal Guatamala, Puerto Vallarta Mexico, San Diego, Hawaii, Majuro, Guam, Osaka, Kagoshima, Nakasaki, Incheon, Xingang, and Shanghai. We are here for 2 days. Then we go to Vietnam. Thanks for showing us the park. Had no trouble on the stages, but spent way too long finding the final. Had to read all the logs. Then looked at all the cache photos. Still could not find. Finally expanded search to 100 feet south east and found the cache. Thanks for the cache.

The best cache ever that we didn't find Day one had us exploring this lovely park collecting the clues and trying to find the final hide so GPS 'n us jumping all over the place.....back at the hotel with the checker photo....ahhhh...that's where it is! Day two before heading back to Kowloon Station and the airport another visit....only to find GZ closed for mosquito spraying, lol!(and yes we did try and break in but were promptly shooed off)
Thanks so much to the cache owner for preparing this lovely cache, no smiley for us this time but lots of fun was had for sure

**This was 1 of 28 caches that was found during the 4th of 8 days in Hong Kong/Macau**

First of all, I would like to mention that this log is written on 14 August 2018. Thus almost 1,5 year after I was here and signed the logbook. And since I will return in the beginning of October it's time to write logs on everything.

Visiting the waypoints did I start before I had do abandon the search to be able to be on time to my event [The Swedish-Finns day 2017](http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=ddda042d-1b73-42c1-8f56-2d60723a8e6c) in this park.
Luckily I got some very specific clues to the final from the event attenders so finding the final location turned out to be easy.

*When I late September saw that SAS had an low price offer on an direct flight from Arlanda, Sweden to Hong Kong international I booked an ticket without checking if I would get an vacation from work.*
*Fortunately it was possible to take a few days so I could now start to plan my stay in 2 new geocaching countries.*
*When I was back home I had 49 caches in Macau and 120 in Hong Kong to write "found it"-logs on.*

Found before event

Solved all the puzzles but couldn't get the final, there were muggles nearby though. Thanks anyway.

Found it! Last day on our trip and plane did not leave until late afternoon so we had time to do this multi. This is a beautiful park, thank you for bringing us here.

On a business trip to Hong Kong and Shenzhen. I had the Sunday off which gave me the opportunity to do some geocaching. Started with the funny Wherigo before I planned to do the Multi and at the same time log som trads in the very nice Kowloon park, which I'm glad I got the opportunity to visit.

A nice walk around the park and no problem to find the different numbers. TFTC

A nice walk in the park, tftc

Found and logged while taking a walk through Kowloon. First searched unsuccessfully for the spoiler, then extendet the search area to some 100 ft of the given coords. FP for the nice walk in the park. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Germany

Clever hide, spent about an hour in the park to solve this. I liked it quite a lot. Now I'm gonna give the whereigo a try

Dropped by, healthy

Easy found. TFTC. \\(^v^)/

Final day in Hong Kong so thought we'd have a look around Kowloon park and what better way than completing a multi tour. Lots of fun finding the different clues but we had a devil of a job finding the cache at the end. Validated correct coordinates but couldn't find the spoiler photo. Eventually, after 20 odd minutes, and getting close to DNF-ing, we spotted the location. More swearing once we found the cache TFTC

New log sheet added

My gps was way off so I wandered around looking for something matching the spoiler photo - log full so added new one - clever container

Enjoyed a nice walk through the park. Thanks for taking us here. Greetings from Germany.

It was a great hide. I took photo log for reference.

Streak day 61 of trying to complete my calendar - Today is my third day in Hong Kong and the first where I was able to make it to the park at a time when I could actually complete this cache. It was nice to be able to appreciate some of it by daylight. Once I finally had the correct coordinates I headed off to try and find the GZ. I got myself rather lost at one point, completely going in the wrong direction from the coordinates, but one of the pictures in the confirmation confused me. Eventually I found myself on the right track where I spotted something that didn't really look suspicious, but I felt might quite possibly hide a geocache. As I walked past a quick tug proved I was correct. I moved further on to sit and sign the log away from prying eyes. Once it was signed I was able to replace the cache without anyone noticing what I had done. TFTC. It has earned a favourite point from me. Now it's time to head over to see the big Buddha on Lantau island.

SisterCorny travelling through Asia for four month, starting in Hong Kong.
After arriving yesterday, we spent today around Kowloon, sightseeing and caching. Very interesting to be here!
Very nice walk through this beautifull park. All quenstions could be answered fairly easy and the final location is really a great one. Thanks for this perfect multi-cache.

Forgot to leave a FP for this great cache...

After spending an hour or so wandering around this nice park on a very hot and sticky day, we eventually had all the information we needed to locate gz. Our gps put us about 30 metres from gz but the good hint photo helped us locate the right address. Loved the cammo. TFTC

**TFTC**
??? ???????? ??????????

Sweat! But found it. Nice hide!

Found it

Thank you so much for this amazing cache! We stayed in Jordan, and we saved this for our last morning before our train to Shenzhen. This was my second cache, and we purposely saved it as such. (The first was the awesome Central Park multi in NYC. that brought us all over that park.)

We took our longboards around this fantastic beautiful and free park. Got told to get off the boards on our way to the aviary but didn't care because each spot was so cool. Many people were out exercising. Great to see such an oasis exist in such a dense city. Very impressed. Now, why didn't Canada get a cool park feature like an aviary or something from the Brit Royals like you guys did? :p

The actual cache - very very nice! It's the best looking one of this type I have ever seen. TFTC! Just like the Central Park multi, this one was the exclamation for Hong Kong in our memories. Loved that another multicache have showed us what great things cities around the world are doing with their parks! Favourited for sure.

A wonderful way to explore the park and probably seeing all parts of it

Thank you! I'm travelling with my friend, and she is nice enough to let me find a few caches along the way. We enjoyed this multi, as it introduced us to various areas within the park. All the coordinates were gathered without a problem, and we soon had the final calculated. Unfortunately, I then put one wrong number into my gps, and we needed the hint to put us back on track. Very clever hide at the final.

Nice cache in this park. Found together with momoko.
The final is very nice. Deserves fp!
TFTC

A fun multi in the park. Thanks for the creativity and the well chosen cache at the end.
A favourite point from us.

A really great hide. Thanks for the activity and cache.

TFTC. Nice tour

Nice multi and brilliant hide. TFTC

found with team BT on a hot rainy afternoon >.

Something unrelated sin: haven't seen CO for ages lu! Thanks for setting this up, a "hearty" one. TFTC

Tftc

A perfect cache for the mission of this weekend. I enjoyed a lot discovering the park. TFTC

Nice one~ tftc

We are going to for celebrate GCHQ47 mission we were solved it and with my brithday at same time and also thanks to my geohusband for the brithday gift, the gift was upgraded my membership to premium member. Originally i thought when i come to a thousand of caches that will be right time to upgrad my membership, surprised gift.
We were enjoyed this multi cache and thanks for showing us around.
Big thanks to Samshlau he was said off ? 40m!!!
TFTC.

For the Mission GC this weekend, we got up earlier and came to the golden area of favorite point in Hong Kong. Strolling Kowloon park all the morning and finished all of the caches in this lovely park.
When we arrived at GZ, the big uncle played his musical instrument, the elder sister sang, than we went around the circle and found an unusual thing. HAHAHA! We got it! TFTC!

found it tftc

Out for a Geo walk before my work meetings this afternoon. Best multi I've done in awhile. Final was off as expected. Hide was superb. TFTC fav point

First trail, really enjoyed it. Thank you

Spend an hour in the park to go round and gather information.As today is ????,the staff don't want me to go inside the Chinese Pavilion,but I just didn't listen to their words.Do my own stuff as fast as possible,nice park tour and favourite point given,TFTC

TFTC

This cache made me to walk around the Kowloon Park again! I like the final cache also!

OK. This one was tough. I solved the steps of the multi on my first evening here. But I was not able to find the final. Bummed by this, I decided to come back on my last evening, and this time I brought my hubby. Again we couldn't find it. We then found out there is a geochecker. Luckily we found an open wlan, so we were able to check the coordinates and get another hint. This confused us even more, because apparently our coordinates were correct, but there was no such thing as mentioned in the hint! Plus, the bit.ly picture didn't load, and we tried again and again and again while searching the whole area. Finally we were able to spot something that matched the hint, and after that it was a pretty quick find, but it was quite a bit off from GZ. Bummer. So for everybody else: Make sure you check the picture before wasting a lot of time and getting tons of mosquito bites. (I checked it later at home - it would have been soooo much easier with the picture!!) Oh, and doing the whole thing in the dark also adds to the difficulty rating, but IMHO it also adds to the fun!! TFTC!

Couldn't find it, but it did take us on a great tour of the park!

Found

Finally signed! That's three out of the four in Kowloon park smiley-ed. Hmm, maybe time to work a bit harder, some tourists come and do all four in a morning, not sure why it's taking me so long.

18:17 While working in Hong Kong I look around for some local caches too. This one was my goal for today and it was nice walk and at the end real nice hide. My first attempts when looking for the cache were wrong but I got it at last as I already found similar ones. TFTC. Greetings from Czech Republic.

Found with jackyltk

Spot the cache easily

We spent ages doing this cache but alas didn't get the right answer. We didn't have the internet so couldn't check the photograph for F. So we guessed and guessed wrong, and probably confused some musicians busy in the area we thought it was in. Sadly, it's our last day here (from Melbourne) so we won't be back but we did enjoy gathering the clues and seeing everything in these beautiful gardens. Thanks for the hide.

Nice one! Tftc. Love the flamingoes and the old trees along Hoi Pong Rd.

Found easily, it took me about half an hour

I brought my geo-son with me to play at the playground and doing a little geocaching along the way. Didn't visit all the WP as my son wants to get to the playground ASAP. So, I used a little help with google and a bit of guessing, I was able to find all of my answer. After playing at the playground, I was able to go to gz for the quick search. Nice tour of KLP! TFTC!

Found it with geodad. I had so much fun at the playground and eating ice-cream at the turtle pond! Yay! I love geocaching!

TFTC! We were so surprised when we find it!

Quite an interesting cache. In front of my face but did not expect that.

Our first cache in Hong Kong. This was a nice park with many nice and interesting tema. We have seen many of them but not all. We used some hours to locate all step and we went to hotel for checking our result on the internet. Correct was the answer so after a lunchbrake we went back to the park.
Thank you for showing us all places here. Give a favorite point for this round.
Regards from Norway.

TFTC! found with vicky_japan!

My yyy find!

Thanks for the tour!

My last day in HK and I wanted to get one cache under the belt to give me a chance at physically finding a cache in two countries on the same day. I've already achieved this by 'finding' a movable cache based in America.

I first tried this multi Wednesday night and didn't get the right numbers. With a little time available this morning I decided to have another go. On both visits I failed to find one WP but thanks to playing Ingress I knew the answer and I managed to miscount the number of horns. With a bit of tweaking I got a positive response from bit.ly (there's really no need for certidute, a positive response from bit.ly is enough). Arriving at GZ I was surprised by the audacious hide and simply grabbed it. I don't know who was more shocked me or the group of photographers just up the hill, some of who, were watching me!!!! [8] Note to self be more careful when approaching a cache!!!

Now for the second part of the challenge.

Thanks for the tour of this amazing park and cache wanrex.

There was a slight complication as I left the hotel without my GPS!! I did have a print out though. So we arrived and I drew mud map and off we went. We found all the locations without too much trouble and so we soon had a solution. We got close with the phone and then bought up the photo for a nice find! Thanks so much for a fun cache that was a pleasure to do even on a cold day! Our first in Hong Kong too.

Yes i come

Came at night so we tried to as much information as we can from those still opening. The cache was quickly in hand after arriving at GZ! Nice little walk after dinner. TFTC!

We came at late night and most of the waypoints we're closed. Luckily we use our smartphone and luck to guess the answer. Finally got it quickly! TFTC!

Found with help from my husband who provided a barrier between me and the many birdwatchers and their long lenses! Favourite point from me. TFTC

Great tour around the park. Cache itself was clever. However coordinates are way off, but luckily spoilerphoto saved us. Will give favorite point for this one. Thanks for CO and greetings from Finland!

Lazy tour around the park before having dinner.
Thanks for leading me to the bird section, I didn't know that place.

Cache is a tricky yet reasonable container, very nice.

We are docked for three days in Hong Kong – Kowloon on Holland America’s Amsterdam. One Day #1, we went out with Konnie 35 and Verdell34 and found 13 caches in Kowloon.

Thank you to each of the COs for their efforts and for their caches.

2nd cache of today after work.
I bumped into moloi after grabbing the last cache. He already found this cache but he was so kind to take me here for an addition smiley.
TFTC!

[2460] I used work in this park every weekend.

found it together with the wanderfalkin on cruise tour in asia from
Hongkong to Singapore

the last day goodbye Hongkong

TFTC

Nice tour! Thank you CO!

TFTC!

Used 45min to go through all waypoints and to the final GZ. The weather is cool. A nice walk before work. But it is VERY difficult to get the final even with the spoiler photo given. Do not believe it would happen in CO's caches, but the coordinates are quite off. Anyway, all settings and the cache are very good. Still worth a Fav. pt. TFTC!

Thanks for bringing me to this park again. GZ is quite quiet at night. TFTC

Kinglee strikes again! with more power! More strength! More stealth!

Good tour, this park kept having updates and there's a new GLOBE structure that is closed at night that is new to me! Quickly found cache as it is totally out of place with its contents!

Thanks for the cache, TNLNSL.

Zone D opening hour as attached photo

#18170, 2016-02-07 at 18:40, Thanks.Nice tour and hint helps.

Great walk in a lovely park, especially in sunny weather. Very cheeky hide! TFTC.

Third of the afternoon. I now had met gely57 and we did this one together. Nice walk through the park and we managed get all the clues easily enough. Just be careful of the aviary one as it closes at 6pm! An easy find at gz! TFTC.

Great walk around the park with Teahan family and grabbing the answers quite easily. The cache is very good. TFTC.

Because of the rain I decided to go to the Space Museum. I still had some time left before the museum would open, so I went to Kowloon Park. While I was walking around the nice park, the weather changed and so did my plans.
After I had finished this multi and found the interesting final, I took the ferry to Peng Chau.


TFTC and showing me this park!
