16:55
Eat a bowl of shacha noodles at Mr Lin Shachamian. The seafood version with abalone is the specialty, but the meat option is equally tasty. It is a reliable local chain and open until 20:00.
17:40
Walk to Bright Moon Garden on the east coast. This spot faces west toward Xiamen, offering a clear view of the sun setting over the water. The garden covers 3 hectares and provides a spacious area to watch the light change.
18:10
End the evening at 大德记二分之一咖啡, a café just a 3 minute walk from Bright Moon Garden. It is open until 20:30, so you can stay for a drink while the sky darkens.
Local tip
The walk from the food spot to the viewing area is short. Bright Moon Garden is on the east coast, so the sunset views face west across the strait.
