Longest and shortest day in Bijie
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 13h 51m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 2 months, with 10h 24m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 26m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:04 on 1 December; the latest is 19:57 on 2 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 06:03 on 10 June to 07:50 on 12 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Bijie different
Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:45, a full 46 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.
Sunset here is followed by about 23 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
The shallow approach angle at 27.3° stretches this evening's golden hour to 45 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.
Between solstices the sunset walks 53° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.
By the end of October the sun will be setting 29 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 59 seconds a day.
At 1,471 m the horizon sits 1.33° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 6 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 12 minutes of extra daylight across the day.
Planning a sunset photo in Bijie
Arrive by 17:49. Golden hour opens at 18:04 and the sun is down by 18:35, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
