Arrive at the Choki Traditional Art School. Wander through the museum to see the traditional 13 arts. Join a live demonstration or try making butter tea yourself. Browse the gift shop for souvenirs.

Head back inside or to a quiet corner of the grounds to watch the golden light wash over the traditional architecture. The sun is setting toward the west, casting long, warm shadows across the campus.
17:31
The museum closes at 16:30, so use this time to step outside as the light fades. Enjoy the transition from day to evening. Since there are no listed food or drink venues in the immediate vicinity, check local routes for dinner and a drink options nearby to continue your evening out.
Local tip
