The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:58 on 3 December; the latest is 19:05 on 1 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 04:57 on 11 June to 06:57 on 10 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Hangzhou different

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

Photographers get 47 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.2× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 55° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

Sunset drifts 65 seconds earlier each day this month — 32 minutes from the first of October to the last.

Planning a sunset photo in Hangzhou

Arrive by 16:47. Golden hour opens at 17:02 and the sun is down by 17:34, 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 17:49 and runs to 17:58, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
