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 44 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:44 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

Sunset here is followed by about 25 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Photographers get 49 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.2× the 40 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 W.

Sunset drifts 74 seconds earlier each day this month — 37 minutes from the first of October to the last.

Standing 1,153 m up buys you 5.7 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 17:40. Golden hour opens at 17:55 and the sun is down by 18:29, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 262° 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 18:45 and runs to 18:54, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
