Stroll through Yong Qing Fang. The historic arcade and traditional architecture look striking in the fading afternoon light. Keep an eye out for the Xiguan cultural displays.

Walk to Liwan Lake Park. Find a spot near the water facing west. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a golden glow across the lakes and traditional pavilions. This is the perfect moment to watch the day end over the historic scenery.
18:22
Head back toward the museum area for dinner. Pan Xi Restaurant is just a short walk away. The dim sum here is served in a setting with trickling streams and stunning architecture, offering a classic Cantonese experience as the evening sets in.

End the night with a drink at Miss Niki. This café is a quick walk from the restaurant and stays open until 19:30, giving you time to relax with a coffee or tea after your meal.
Local tip
The museum closes at 17:00, so you will not be able to enter it for this evening plan. However, the exterior and the surrounding Yong Qing Fang area are open and accessible.
Check before you go
- Miss Niki closes at 19:30. Plan to arrive before then if you want a drink inside.
