17:42
Grab an iced coffee and a snack at True Coffee. It is open until 22:00, so you have plenty of time to settle in before the walk.
18:12
Walk south to the Yangon Zoological Gardens. The 63-minute walk from the landmark is long, but starting early lets you explore the grounds and find a quiet spot with a clear view of the west.
18:42
Watch the sunset. On this date, the sun sets at 18:42 toward the WNW. The golden light begins around 18:11, giving you a warm glow over the trees and enclosures.
19:27
End the evening with a late-night treat. Shwe Kaung Kywe Tea Shop is open 24/7, making it a reliable spot for a final drink or pastry after the sun goes down.
Local tip
The walk from Aung San Suu Kyi's House to the Zoological Gardens is quite long. Start your coffee early to allow enough time to reach the viewing spot before the light fades.
Check before you go
- Verify the latest opening hours for True Coffee and Shwe Kaung Kywe Tea Shop, as they can change.
- The walk to the zoo is extensive; wear comfortable shoes and bring water.
