The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:40 on 7 December; the latest is 20:24 on 28 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 05:37 on 14 June to 08:14 on 6 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 11m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Zhongwei different

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:46, a full 46 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

Sunset here is followed by about 26 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Photographers get 51 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.3× 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 60° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

By the end of October the sun will be setting 41 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 81 seconds a day.

At 1,227 m the horizon sits 1.21° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 6.2 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 12.3 minutes of extra daylight across the day.

Planning a sunset photo in Zhongwei

Arrive by 17:39. Golden hour opens at 17:54 and the sun is down by 18:29, 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 18:45 and runs to 18:55, the end of civil twilight and 26m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
