Longest and shortest day in Chongqing
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 14h 2m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 2 months, with 10h 14m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 47m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:54 on 2 December; the latest is 19:57 on 1 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 05:53 on 11 June to 07:49 on 10 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Chongqing different
Clock noon and solar noon are 41 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:40 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.
It takes roughly 24 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
Photographers get 46 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.2× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
Over a year the sunset point slides 54° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.
Across October the sunset moves 32 minutes earlier, averaging about 63 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Chongqing
Arrive by 17:42. Golden hour opens at 17:57 and the sun is down by 18:29, 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 18:44 and runs to 18:53, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
