Geocache Description:

The cache is located in a public park. It is easy accessable and not difficult to find, once you have the correct coordinates.

This group of caches will lead you to the four Beijing temple parks (Temple of Heaven, Temple of Earth, Temple of Sun, Temple of Moon) plus my favorite small park in Beijing. 

The fifth Cache (Bonus) can only be found after the first four have been found. In each of the four caches, you will find a piece of information, that you will need to solve the last puzzle, so take a pen and a notebook with you to get all the hints.

The fourth one leads to the Temple of Moon. 

Note, that the coordinates given with this cache are not real. 

The Temple of the Moon is an altar located in Fuchengmen, Xicheng District, in western Beijing, China. The altar was built in 1530 during the Ming Dynasty for use in ritual sacrifice to the Moon by the Emperor of China.

The altar and the surrounding grounds are within a public park.

The cache coordinates can be determined from the riddle below.

The real coordinates of the cache are:

N 39 54.ABC
E 116 20.DEF

A= 503th digit of pi
B= 105th digit of e
C= Legendre Constant
D= 32th digit of the square root of 2.
E= 10th digit of the golden ratio.
F= 12th digit of the Laplace Limit

(All digits including the pre-decimal places)

Enjoy the riddle and the cache.
