Timeline
17:53
Grab a bite at Ban Heang. The bakery is open from 07:00 to 22:00, so you have plenty of time to pick up local biscuits or ice cream before heading up.
18:53
Walk 6 minutes to the Rainbow Skywalk. The tower is open Sun-Thu 11AM-10PM. You need to be up here 30 minutes before sunset to secure a spot on the transparent glass floor and watch the light change over the city.
19:23
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light starts at 18:53 and the sun dips below the horizon at 19:23. This is the peak moment on the glass walkway.
20:23
Head down and walk 11 minutes to New World Park Food City. It is open until 23:00, making it the perfect spot for a late dinner of curry mee, laksa, or ais kacang after the cool height of the skywalk.
Local tip
The Rainbow Skywalk is open until 10PM on weekdays, so you have time to stay for the evening lights after sunset. New World Park Food City stays open late if you want to linger over your meal.
