Longest and shortest day in Tianshui
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 28m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 9h 50m.
Between them the day length swings by 4h 38m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:46 on 5 December; the latest is 20:13 on 29 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 05:43 on 13 June to 08:04 on 7 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Tianshui different
Clock noon and solar noon are 59 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:58 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.
Sunset here is followed by about 26 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
Photographers get 50 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.2× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
Over a year the sunset point slides 58° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is WNW.
Sunset drifts 68 seconds earlier each day this month — 34 minutes from the first of August to the last.
Standing 1,153 m up buys you 5.9 extra minutes of evening sun: the higher you are, the further over the curve of the Earth you can see, by 1.17° here.
Planning a sunset photo in Tianshui
Arrive by 18:43. Golden hour opens at 18:58 and the sun is down by 19:31, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 283° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
