The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:13 on 8 December; the latest is 20:15 on 28 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 05:09 on 15 June to 08:04 on 4 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 11m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Baotou different

Clock noon and solar noon are 28 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:27 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

From sunset to full civil darkness is 27 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 40.7°N accounts for the 3-minute difference.

The shallow approach angle at 40.7° stretches this evening's golden hour to 54 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 5h 49m here — among the widest of the 677 cities tracked in China.

Over a year the sunset point slides 63° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.

Across October the sunset moves 45 minutes earlier, averaging about 90 seconds a day.

Standing 1,064 m up buys you 6 extra minutes of evening sun: the higher you are, the further over the curve of the Earth you can see, by 1.13° here.

Planning a sunset photo in Baotou

Arrive by 17:17. Golden hour opens at 17:32 and the sun is down by 18:08, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 262° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 18:25 and runs to 18:36, the end of civil twilight and 27m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
