    Danyangism

    Grab a drink at Danyangism. It is also a prop shop, so you can see various items along with drinks. The shop is open from 11:00 to 20:00, so it is ready for you an hour before sunset.

    만천하 스카이워크

    Walk six minutes to the Manhakcheonbong Observatory at 만천하 스카이워크. Step onto the three-finger, 15-meter-long glass platform. The horseshoe shape frames the panoramic view of the city and the Lotus Blossom Pedestal in the distance.

    만천하 스카이워크

    Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The sky turns gold as the light fades over the Namhan river view. The observatory closes at 17:00, so this is your last chance to be inside as the sky darkens.

    단양수양개생태공원

    End the evening with a short four-minute walk to 단양수양개생태공원. The park is open and offers a quiet space to digest the view and the day.

Local tip

The observatory closes at 17:00. If you arrive after sunset on 15 January, you will miss the interior access, so time your drink and walk carefully.
