The Central Weather Bureau has released a timetable predicting which parts of Taiwan will be the last to see the sun in 2019 and which will be the first to greet the first sunrise of 2020.

Those wanting to see the final sunset of the year should head to Anping in Tainan or Cijin in Kaohsiung. These two spots on Taiwan’s southwest coast will be the last places on Taiwan proper to see the sun sink below the horizon. Forecasters are predicting a sunset time of 5:25pm.

Taiping Island in the South China Sea will be the final point under Taiwanese administration to see the sun. Forecasters predict a 6:11pm sunset on this disputed island.     [FULL  STORY]
