Timeline
17:10
Grab a coffee or light snack at the rest areas near the base of the mountain. The picnic areas are open and ready for a pre-sunset recharge.
17:35
Walk up the 12 km trails toward the sky tower. The path winds through man-made and natural forests, giving you time to settle in before the main event.
17:55
Stand at the sky tower. At 17:55, the sun sets toward the west, casting a final golden glow over the gorges and forests below.
18:25
Descend slowly and find a quiet spot in the rest areas to watch the twilight fade over the deer farms and playgrounds.
Local tip
The sky tower offers the best unobstructed view of the sunset. Bring a light jacket as it gets cooler at elevation after dark.
