Longest and shortest day in Hengyang
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 13h 49m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 2 months, with 10h 26m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 23m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:35 on 1 December; the latest is 19:27 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 05:35 on 10 June to 07:20 on 12 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Hengyang different
It takes roughly 23 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
Evening golden hour runs 45 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 26.9° 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 53° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
By the end of October the sun will be setting 29 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 58 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Hengyang
Arrive by 17:20. Golden hour opens at 17:35 and the sun is down by 18:06, 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 18:20 and runs to 18:29, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
