Timeline

  1. 18:05

    AYU Awana

    Start with a drink and a light bite at the poolside lounge. The smokehouse menu and cocktail list are perfect for settling in before the evening chill sets in.

  2. 18:35

    Awana Bio Park

    Walk up to Awana Bio Park. Take the Awana Skyway and alight at Awana Station. Enter the virgin jungle and follow the biodiversity trail. The canopy filters the light, making it easy to find a quiet spot as the sun begins to dip.

  3. 19:20

    Awana Bio Park

    Stand at the edge of the trail facing west. The trees frame the horizon, and the sun sets toward the WSW, casting long shadows through the 200-hectare forest. This is your moment.

  4. 19:50

    Awana Garden Hot Pot

    Head back down to Awana SkyCentral and walk 8 minutes to Awana Garden Hot Pot. The steam from the broth is a comforting way to end the cool mountain air.
