Longest and shortest day in Yixing
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 11m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 10h 6m.
Between them the day length swings by 4h 5m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:57 on 3 December; the latest is 19:09 on 30 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 04:55 on 12 June to 07:00 on 9 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Yixing different
It takes roughly 25 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
The shallow approach angle at 31.4° stretches this evening's golden hour to 48 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 56° round to WNW. Tonight, WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 31 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 61 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Yixing
Arrive by 17:44. Golden hour opens at 17:59 and the sun is down by 18:32, 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 18:47 and runs to 18:57, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
