Longest and shortest day in Daqing
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 15h 50m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 8h 33m.
Between them the day length swings by 7h 16m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 15:52 on 11 December; the latest is 19:37 on 26 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 03:46 on 16 June to 07:24 on 2 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 13m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Daqing different
At 46.6°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 32 minutes to arrive: 8 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.
Photographers get 60 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.5× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 7h 16m, 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 SW, June swings it 71° round to NW. Tonight, WNW.
Across August the sunset moves 50 minutes earlier, averaging about 100 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Daqing
Arrive by 17:35. Golden hour opens at 17:50 and the sun is down by 18:31, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 286° 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 18:50 and runs to 19:03, the end of civil twilight and 31m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
