Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden
Walk to the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden. Wander the curved footpaths and small lake. The traditional Ming-dynasty style architecture and plants create a peaceful illusion of space within the single block. Check the hours to ensure you have enough time inside before it closes.

Head to Steamworks for a pre-sunset drink. This long-standing brew pub has a patio and restaurant at street level, perfect for settling in with a beer and watching the sky change color.
