Timeline
16:38
Start with a latte and homemade cake at HOWDY. It is a calm café in central Ansan serving kaymak, a creamy milk spread that pairs well with the afternoon chill.
16:53
Walk to the Ansan Arts Center. The building opens at 09:00 and closes at 18:00, so you have plenty of time to wander the grounds before the main event.
17:28
Find a spot on the steps or plaza facing west. At 16:58 the golden light begins, and by 17:38 the sun sets toward the WSW, painting the sky in warm tones.
18:08
End the evening with naengdong samgyeopsal at Chonggak Super. This Korean barbecue restaurant serves Jeju pork belly and stays open until 24:00, making it a perfect late dinner.
Local tip
HOWDY is open from 12:00 to 21:00, so you have time to relax before the walk. Chonggak Super opens at 17:00, so you can arrive just as the sun goes down.
