The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:13 on 30 November; the latest is 19:59 on 3 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 06:13 on 9 June to 07:52 on 13 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Qujing different

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:51, a full 52 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

It takes roughly 23 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

The shallow approach angle at 25.5° stretches this evening's golden hour to 45 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.

The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 3h 10m, one of the narrowest swings of any China city on the site.

Between solstices the sunset walks 52° 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.

Across October the sunset moves 27 minutes earlier, averaging about 55 seconds a day.

Elevation matters at 1,887 m. The visible horizon drops 1.5°, pushing sunset 6.7 minutes later and sunrise the same amount earlier than a sea-level observer would see.

Planning a sunset photo in Qujing

Arrive by 17:57. Golden hour opens at 18:12 and the sun is down by 18:42, 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 18:56 and runs to 19:05, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
