The best sunset 🌅 view point “It was such a breathtaking and heartwarming moment. The sky slowly changed from golden to pink and then to a soft purple as the sun disappeared behind the horizon. The peaceful breeze and calm atmosphere made me feel like time had stopped for a while. It’s one of those scenes you wish could last forever. I’d definitely love to come back and watch it again. 💖”

If you do decide visiting during the daytime rather than during the sunset/sun...
