Timeline
16:45
Grab a drink or snack at PIK Avenue. The mall opens at 10:00, so it is wide open well before your visit. Use the time to relax and grab something light before the walk.
17:30
Walk to Taman Wisata Alam Angke Kapuk. Use the BKTB from Monas, Pluit, or Kota to get to the area, then walk the remaining distance. The park is open until 19:00, giving you plenty of time. Buy your ticket (Rp25,000) and enter. Note that DSLR cameras are not allowed.
18:15
Find a spot near the water to watch the sunset. On this date, the sun sets toward the WSW around 18:15. The golden light starts about 30 minutes earlier, so you will have beautiful lighting for the final approach. Enjoy the artificial mangrove landscape and the calm atmosphere.
19:15
Head back to PIK Avenue for dinner. The mall is open until 22:00, so you have plenty of options for a late meal. Choose from the chic fashion tenants, flagship tech shops, or the dedicated Japanese food court and other mid-range to splurge options.
Local tip
The park is an artificial space where you can even plant mangrove trees if you obtain a ticket. It is larger than Muara Angke and does not require a permit. Bring cash for the entry fee.
