Shekou Sea World
Back in 1962 France launched a ship named Ancerville, which was purchased by the People’s Republic of China in 1973 and renamed Minghua. 10 years later the ship was permanently berthed at Shekou, Shenzhen, where she was refurbished and rebranded – this time as the hotel and entertainment complex, “Shekou Sea World“.
Since the Minghua was berthed at Sea World Plaza, the water which originally surrounded her has been reclaimed to allow construction of many establishments around it. The land reclamation continued southward, and today the coastline has been moved several hundred metres, leaving the Minghua completely landlocked.
The whole plaza now offers a vast array of international restaurants, cafes and bars. Not to mention newly a constructed set of water fountains that shows a 10-min beautifully choreographed synchronization of water, music, fireworks and lights every 7pm and 8pm daily, for free. This place also stands out for all the foreign customers that frequent the area.

The cache
You are looking for a magnetic nano container in this most happening expat restaurant and bar scene in Shenzhen.
There will be constant muggle presence around GZ, most especially security guards who may be watching your every move. It is a MUST to exercise EXTREME stealth in retrieving and returning the cache (to its original location). Bring your own pen.
For best experience, I strongly suggest to visit the cache during one of the fountain shows when it gets super-duper crowded. When everyone's focused on the fountains and no one minds what your doing, including the security guards. And most of all, you get to watch the show, right at GZ.
