There's something you should know about Uzbekistan. The historic sites are all very walkable, and they make for fantastic settings to enjoy the sunrise. Even when the sites are a bit spread out, you'll probably only pay a couple bucks or so to take a taxi between them.

When I plan out my trips, I try to maximize the number of opportunities I have for catching the sunrise and sunset. Of course, there's occasionally the day I might set aside just to sleep in, be lazy and recover a bit if I'm hopping all over the place. The normal routine of trying to locate great spots for sunrise and sunset continues as much as possible.

It's definitely possible to do this in the giant metropolises as well, but unless you happen to be staying super close to that amazing vantage point, it can be surprisingly challenging to get to where you need to go early in the morning when the public transit system is not running as frequently as you'd like, relegating your options down to ride sharing services or a taxi. And even then, it can still take you quite a while to navigate to your destination given the sheer sizes of mega cities like Seoul and Tokyo.

In Uzbekistan, there's a decent number of tourist hotels located around the historic sites, which makes it really easy to hop out of bed in the morning and walk around before dawn. My routine was pretty much wake up, shower, head out for about an hour and a half, then come back to the hotel for breakfast before carrying on with my day. It's really convenient when the sun rises at a time that allows this kind of schedule.
