    Walk one minute to Jade Garden for dim sum. It is a local favorite and while popular, the wait usually takes less than 30 minutes. Enjoy the meal in the lively atmosphere.

    Watch the sunset at 16:45. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a golden light over the city skyline from the right field bleachers.

Local tip

The museum offers first-come-first-served guided tours, so arriving early is key. If you prefer a quieter lunch option, Tai Tung is a two-minute walk away and has been operating since 1935.
