    Watch the sunrise. On mid-April mornings, the sun rises toward the WNW, casting a soft glow over the fountains and the surrounding area before the day's bustle begins.

    Head to Chinar, a Pan-Asian restaurant and modern tea house just a short walk from the park. It is an ideal spot for a relaxed breakfast or coffee to start your day, blending local tea culture with modern cuisine.
