Location

Yanggaozhong Road, in the urban area of Shanghai. Note that due to the GPS drift in China, the coordinate on many maps (such as Google Maps) does not agree with the true coordinate measured by a GPS device. The offset is around 100 meters (I think).

Plans

Well, I went to work (just during the school holiday) in the morning, and I checked the hash location. Wow today's location is actually a very nice one. It is in the urban area so it can reached by metros and buses. I checked the detail, it only required me to take the metro for around an hour and a little 5-minute walk from the station.

Expedition

I left work at 5:30pm, and I took the metro as shown below.

• 

  Follow the black line

• 

  The destination station

I left the station at gate 3 of that station, and I saw the most stupid arrangement for metro station entries.

• 

  because someone decided to put two entries at the same location, right in front of each other.

Then I took a little walk guided by my phone. I got almost there...

• 

  I have no idea why the GPS location is so inaccurate.

Then the accuracy of the GPS suddenly increased to about 5 meters. I had to keep walking. After a few minutes of walking and staring at my phone, waiting for the GPS location to update, I finally reached the hashpoint!

  Proof

  A photo taken at the hashpoint.

• 

  My first geohash. Yah!
