Location: https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=31.237025,121.457991

Reasons to remove:

Portal does not exist. Not only us but also the OpenAI GPT-4o could easily notice this because:

  1. The location of this portal is set directly onto a building (Natural Museum), which is inaccurate because an adjacent portal <恐龙> (which covers a model of dinosaur placed inside the museum) https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=31.236869,121.457857 showed the ceiling of the building while this portal directly shows the sky. The distinction is so obvious that either this portal <生命之歌> has inaccurate coordinations, or it’s at the rooftop of this building. It just can’t be an indoor setting.

  1. Actually it’s not possible for this portal to be at the rooftop (which is not open to the public either) due to the height of the trees and their proximity to the sculptures shown in the photo. Rooftop installations generally don’t have large trees growing near them and the surrounding greenery like this.

  1. As this portal is almost certainly an outdoor setting on the ground level, even if we consider the inaccurate location, we still cannot find it outside on the ground level within 200 meters. Following are two panoramic videos demonstrating that no matter how we try to reach this portal from any angle, we can’t see it

Conclusion:

This portal is not within 200 meters. Removal of the portal is needed.

Thanks for the appeal, @madoff. After reviewing the additional evidence provided, we’ve decided to retire the Wayspot in question.
