Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:59 on 30 November; the latest is 19:50 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 05:59 on 10 June to 07:43 on 12 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Guiyang different

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:55, a full 55 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

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 46 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.1× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

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 WNW.

Across August the sunset moves 26 minutes earlier, averaging about 52 seconds a day.

At 1,087 m the horizon sits 1.14° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 5.2 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 10.4 minutes of extra daylight across the day.

Planning a sunset photo in Guiyang

Arrive by 18:33. Golden hour opens at 18:48 and the sun is down by 19:19, 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 19:34 and runs to 19:43, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
