We were fortunate to have an uncle (staff at one of the souvenir shops beside the view point) explaining how to watch sunrise and how this view spot came about. Watch to find out more below!

This first video explains where the sun will come out from, i.e. if you're there during spring, summer, autumn or winter, the places to look at will vary. These guides also know the time when the sun rises.
