Head to Daguan Park. The pavilion opens until 19:00, giving you plenty of time to enter and find a good spot on the upper floors.

Watch the sunset. The top floor of the pavilion offers an all-embracing view of Dianchi Lake and the Western Mountains. On 15 January the sun sets toward the WSW at 18:41, framing the lake perfectly.
