Longest and shortest day in Shijiazhuang
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 48m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 9h 31m.
Between them the day length swings by 5h 17m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:02 on 7 December; the latest is 19:48 on 28 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 04:58 on 14 June to 07:38 on 6 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 11m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Shijiazhuang different
Clock noon and solar noon are 24 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:24 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.
At 38°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 27 minutes to arrive: 3 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.
The shallow approach angle at 38° stretches this evening's golden hour to 52 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 61° round to WNW. Tonight, WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 38 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 76 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Shijiazhuang
Arrive by 18:10. Golden hour opens at 18:25 and the sun is down by 19:01, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 284° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
