Longest and shortest day in Changzhou

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 14h 13m of daylight.

The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 2 months, with 10h 4m.

Between them the day length swings by 4h 9m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:55 on 4 December; the latest is 19:09 on 30 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 04:54 on 12 June to 07:01 on 9 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Changzhou different

Sunset here is followed by about 24 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Photographers get 48 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.2× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

Between solstices the sunset walks 56° 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 34 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 68 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Changzhou

Arrive by 16:46. Golden hour opens at 17:01 and the sun is down by 17:34, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 263° 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 17:49 and runs to 17:58, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
