Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:57 on 26 November; the latest is 19:22 on 5 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 05:58 on 6 June to 07:16 on 17 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Haikou different

Clock noon and solar noon are 26 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:25 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

It takes roughly 22 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

Summer and winter days differ by 2h 25m here, less seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in China we track.

Between solstices the sunset walks 50° 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.

Sunset drifts 45 seconds earlier each day this month — 22 minutes from the first of October to the last.

Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 21 May and 24 July — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon.

Planning a sunset photo in Haikou

Arrive by 17:35. Golden hour opens at 17:50 and the sun is down by 18:19, 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 18:32 and runs to 18:41, the end of civil twilight and 22m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
