Longest and shortest day in Yongzhou
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 13h 47m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 10h 28m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 19m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:40 on 30 November; the latest is 19:30 on 2 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 05:40 on 10 June to 07:23 on 12 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Yongzhou different
Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:35, a full 35 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.
Sunset here is followed by about 24 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
The shallow approach angle at 26.4° stretches this evening's golden hour to 46 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.
Over a year the sunset point slides 53° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 26 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 52 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Yongzhou
Arrive by 18:14. Golden hour opens at 18:29 and the sun is down by 19:00, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 282° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
