Timeline

  1. 17:08

    O-World

    Arrive at O-World. The park is easy to find if you are driving, as major intersection signs across Daejeon point directly to it. If you are taking the bus, look for routes 301, 115, 311, 314, 318 or 315. There is no food or drink shop listed in the immediate vicinity to grab a snack before the main event, so plan to bring your own refreshment or check the route for nearby options.

  2. 17:23

    O-World

    Walk through Joyland or Flower Land to find a clear view of the western horizon. The park is large, so take your time to find an open spot away from the rides where you can see the sky unobstructed.

  3. 17:38

    O-World

    Watch the sunset. On 15 January the sun sets at 17:38 toward the WSW. The golden light begins around 16:59, giving you a warm glow for the final ten minutes before the sun disappears.

Local tip

The park is on the far south end of the city. If you miss the sunset, the area is quiet in the evening. Check the bus routes if you do not have a car, as walking out is not practical.
