    Frere Hall

    Walk to Frere Hall. The 5-minute walk from the anchor is short, but allow extra time to find the best angle. Arrive just in time to watch the golden light hit the yellowish limestone and red stone of the 1865 building as the sun dips low in the WSW.

    Dynasty

    Head to Dynasty for dinner. This award-winning Chinese restaurant is just a 9-minute walk from Frere Hall. It is a popular spot among expats, so the atmosphere will be lively as the sun sets.
