Longest and shortest day in Fuzhou
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 13h 46m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 2 months, with 10h 30m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 15m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:10 on 30 November; the latest is 18:58 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 05:10 on 9 June to 06:51 on 13 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 23 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
Evening golden hour runs 45 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 26.1° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 3h 15m here — among the narrowest of the 677 cities tracked in China.
Between solstices the sunset walks 53° 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.
Across October the sunset moves 28 minutes earlier, averaging about 56 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Fuzhou
Arrive by 16:54. Golden hour opens at 17:09 and the sun is down by 17:40, 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 17:54 and runs to 18:03, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
