Longest and shortest day in Tangshan
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 58m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 9h 21m.
Between them the day length swings by 5h 36m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:42 on 8 December; the latest is 19:39 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 04:39 on 14 June to 07:28 on 5 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 11m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Tangshan different
At 39.6°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 28 minutes to arrive: 4 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.
The shallow approach angle at 39.6° stretches this evening's golden hour to 53 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.
Summer and winter days differ by 5h 36m here, more seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in China we track.
Over a year the sunset point slides 62° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is WNW.
Across August the sunset moves 40 minutes earlier, averaging about 80 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Tangshan
Arrive by 17:57. Golden hour opens at 18:12 and the sun is down by 18:48, 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.
Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 19:05 and runs to 19:16, the end of civil twilight and 27m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
