17:17
Start with a coffee and a quiet moment at Alves Café. The café is open from 07:00 to 21:30, so you have plenty of time to settle in before the light changes.
17:47
Walk to the Macau Mosque and Cemetery. This is the only mosque in Macau and it houses the city's only Muslim cemetery. Arrive early to find a quiet spot where the setting sun will cast a warm, golden light over the complex.
18:02
Watch the sunset. On 15 January, the sun sets at 18:02 toward the WSW, bathing the mosque and cemetery in a brief, beautiful glow.
18:32
End the evening with dinner at GEM Kitchen. This Chinese restaurant is open from 18:00 to 23:00, making it perfect for a post-sunset meal.
