Longest and shortest day in Shenyang
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 15h 13m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 9h 8m.
Between them the day length swings by 6h 4m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:15 on 9 December; the latest is 19:25 on 27 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 04:10 on 15 June to 07:13 on 4 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 12m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Shenyang different
Light lingers for 29 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 5 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 41.8°N buys you.
Evening golden hour runs 55 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 41.8° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
Summer and winter days differ by 6h 4m here, more seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in China we track.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 65° round to WNW. Tonight, WNW.
Sunset drifts 85 seconds earlier each day this month — 43 minutes from the first of August to the last.
Planning a sunset photo in Shenyang
Arrive by 17:37. Golden hour opens at 17:52 and the sun is down by 18:30, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 285° 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 18:47 and runs to 18:59, the end of civil twilight and 28m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
