I agree with south side of the mountain, probably for the same reason. When I was writing about dawn being early in summer I thought of the whole endless day in summer if you were to go to the artic circle thing [not that china reaches that high] and then I thought of the angle of the sun and how a steep mountain would potentially always be in the shadow esp with a forest, on the north side at such a time and meant to come back to it, but I had to dash. I presume that's what you mean too.

hehe, yeah, but it might be on the edge of a thick forrest that covers the whole hill except that sunny side.

or perhaps I was wrong about midnight and it is at dawn particularly as the traditional form of the character 陽 has 旦 dawn in it [as represented by the sun above the horizon] and in the bottom right of that character, we have shadows...so I think it must be under the shadow of the 5 pine trees [western side] in that case

阳。。。also means opposite...opposite the 5 pine trees maybe

maybe this is the height of Summer in this northern part of China and thus dawn is pretty early.

Alternatively, the x in 区 comes is an ancient form of 五 so could be referring to 宋五木。。。the meeting place or where the treasure is buried

It could be buried where there are 5 松 pine trees ..homophone

朝 shows it's 10th day of 10th month...the left side of the character has 十[tenth] 日 [day] of the 十 [tenth] ....月[month] ..on the right side of the character

they're meeting at midnight on the sunny side of the hill 阳 【the left side of this character representing a hill...so there must be a hill in the park...and the right side representing the sun...so the sunny side of the hill] in the Forest Park and the drugs will be in a box 区。。。the outside of this character represents an open box and the inside ..the x replaces the traditional 品 goods...in this case representing drugs.

thanks mate.

"vegetables, tofu, noodles, meat etc. on display. Often this is in display cabinets, or shelving"

..yes, I've definitely seen that, though more so with Japanese restaurants.
