Longest and shortest day in Fuzhou
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 13h 54m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 10h 22m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 32m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:18 on 1 December; the latest is 19:15 on 2 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 05:17 on 10 June to 07:07 on 11 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Fuzhou 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.
Evening golden hour runs 46 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 28° 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 54° round to WNW. Tonight, WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 27 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 55 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Fuzhou
Arrive by 17:56. Golden hour opens at 18:11 and the sun is down by 18:42, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 282° 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 18:57 and runs to 19:06, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
