The Promenade is beautifully and colourfully lit up at night especially during the Christmas season in December. You are also able to watch aeroplanes taking off and landing at the international airport at the end of the Promenade. The beaches along the Promenade are very crowded during summer. As the temperature during winter is mild, you may even witness locals and foreigners swimming at the beach. Leave a Comment
