Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:07 on 30 November; the latest is 19:57 on 2 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Liupanshui different
On standard time the sun peaks at 13:02, 63 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.
It takes roughly 24 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
Evening golden hour runs 46 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 26.6° 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, WNW.
Sunset drifts 52 seconds earlier each day this month — 26 minutes from the first of August to the last.
Standing 1,799 m up buys you 6.7 extra minutes of evening sun: the higher you are, the further over the curve of the Earth you can see, by 1.47° here.
Planning a sunset photo in Liupanshui
Arrive by 18:41. Golden hour opens at 18:56 and the sun is down by 19:27, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
