Longest and shortest day in Yichang
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 8m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 10h 9m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 58m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:32 on 3 December; the latest is 19:41 on 1 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 05:31 on 11 June to 07:33 on 10 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Yichang different
Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:36, a full 37 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.
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.
Evening golden hour runs 47 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 30.7° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
Between solstices the sunset walks 55° 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 30 minutes earlier, averaging about 60 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Yichang
Arrive by 18:18. Golden hour opens at 18:33 and the sun is down by 19:05, 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.
