Geocache Description:

Tung Shan, one of the Nine Dragons of Kowloon.

Located just under the top of Tung Shan, this is a kind of natural viewing platform.
Cache is easily reachable via Fei Ngo Shan Road followed by a short walk over a mostly level trail. If you come from the direction of Fei Ngo Shan or the trail from from Jat's Incline Road it's 3-4 star terrain overall.
Cache is small size; original content is only a note book; there is space for small items and travellers.

The name Kowloon literally means "nine dragons". These dragons are eight mountain peaks and a Chinese emperor. These eight peaks of the Kowloon Ridge each have their own geocache:
GC194E9 at Kowloon Peak aka Fei Ngo Shan,
GC34Q98 at Tung Shan,
GC2TM2P at Tate's Cairn,
GC34Q99 at Temple Hill (Tsz Wan Shan),
GC34Q9A at Unicorn Ridge,
GC195NY at Lion Rock,
GC1XNT8 at Beacon Hill,
GC34Q9C at Crow's Nest.
Each cache contains a card with a unique number. Using those numbers you may find the final dragon: GC34Q9D Emperor Bing of Song, who was the last emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty of China. For more information on this emperor and his dynasty please visit WikiPedia and the pages linked from there.
