Stop at Oolong Tea House for a warm drink and a quiet moment. The outdoor patio is perfect for watching the afternoon light shift, and the extensive tea library offers a cozy prelude to the evening chill.
16:13
Walk to The Pandrol Clip. This giant version of the rail clip used for LRT tracks sits as a stark, industrial sculpture. Position yourself to face west, where the setting sun will cast long shadows across the metal.
16:58
Watch the sunset. At 16:58, the sun sets toward the WSW, illuminating the clip and the distant skyline in golden light. The contrast between the heavy industrial object and the soft evening sky is the highlight.
17:43
End the evening with smoked meat and whiskey at Hayden Block Smoke & Whiskey. This BBQ joint serves Texas-style brisket and ribs, providing a hearty, warm finish to your evening walk.
