Longest and shortest day in Xuzhou
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 26m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 9h 52m.
Between them the day length swings by 4h 34m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:00 on 5 December; the latest is 19:26 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 04:58 on 13 June to 07:17 on 8 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Xuzhou different
It takes roughly 26 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
The shallow approach angle at 34.2° stretches this evening's golden hour to 49 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.
Between solstices the sunset walks 58° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is WNW.
Across August the sunset moves 34 minutes earlier, averaging about 67 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Xuzhou
Arrive by 17:56. Golden hour opens at 18:11 and the sun is down by 18:45, 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.
Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 19:01 and runs to 19:11, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
