Longest and shortest day in Changzhi
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 14h 37m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 2 months, with 9h 41m.
Between them the day length swings by 4h 55m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:12 on 6 December; the latest is 19:48 on 29 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 13 June to 07:39 on 7 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Changzhi different
Sunset here is followed by about 26 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
Evening golden hour runs 50 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 36.2° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 59° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
Across October the sunset moves 39 minutes earlier, averaging about 78 seconds a day.
At 937 m the horizon sits 1.06° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 5.3 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 10.6 minutes of extra daylight across the day.
Planning a sunset photo in Changzhi
Arrive by 17:09. Golden hour opens at 17:24 and the sun is down by 17:59, 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 18:14 and runs to 18:24, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
