17:40
Grab a coffee and settle in. This café is open until late, so you have time to plan the walk south without rushing.
18:10
Walk south to the park. The lake is calm in the late afternoon. Find a spot on the path that faces west.
18:40
Watch the sun dip below the horizon. The golden light hits the water and the lotus plants just before it sets.
19:25
Head to a traditional courtyard for dinner. The food is excellent, and the building itself is worth seeing.
Local tip
The park is small enough to cross in minutes. You will be walking south from the café area toward the lake edge.
