Longest and shortest day in Xianyang
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 14h 27m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 2 months, with 9h 51m.
Between them the day length swings by 4h 35m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:34 on 5 December; the latest is 20:01 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 05:32 on 13 June to 07:52 on 8 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Xianyang different
On standard time the sun peaks at 12:32, 32 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.
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.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 58° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
By the end of October the sun will be setting 37 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 74 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Xianyang
Arrive by 17:29. Golden hour opens at 17:44 and the sun is down by 18:17, 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 18:33 and runs to 18:42, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
