Walk through the narrow lanes of Coloane Village. The pastel-coloured houses and quiet atmosphere set the mood. Head toward Avenida de Cinco de Outubro to get your bearings.

Find a seat at Nga Tim. Located in the colonnade facing St. Francis Xavier Church, it offers an authentic Portuguese and Chinese menu with a view of the church plaza and waterfront. It is a beautiful outdoor setting to watch the sky change colour.

Stand on Avenida de Cinco de Outubro. The sun sets toward the WSW. Look across the narrow channel to Hengqin Island as the golden light fades.
