Longest and shortest day in Changchun
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 15h 28m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 8h 53m.
Between them the day length swings by 6h 34m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:00 on 10 December; the latest is 19:25 on 27 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 03:55 on 15 June to 07:13 on 3 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 12m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Changchun different
Light lingers for 30 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 6 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 43.9°N buys you.
Photographers get 57 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.4× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 6h 34m, one of the widest swings of any China city on the site.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 67° round to NW. Tonight, WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 46 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 91 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Changchun
Arrive by 17:32. Golden hour opens at 17:47 and the sun is down by 18:25, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 285° 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 18:44 and runs to 18:55, the end of civil twilight and 30m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
