Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:57 on 3 December; the latest is 19:02 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 04:56 on 11 June to 06:54 on 10 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Shaoxing different

Sunset here is followed by about 24 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Evening golden hour runs 47 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 30° 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 55° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

Across October the sunset moves 32 minutes earlier, averaging about 64 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Shaoxing

Arrive by 16:46. Golden hour opens at 17:01 and the sun is down by 17:33, 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 17:47 and runs to 17:57, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
