Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:10 on 30 November; the latest is 18:58 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 05:10 on 9 June to 06:51 on 13 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Fuzhou different

Sunset here is followed by about 23 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Evening golden hour runs 45 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 26.1° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 3h 15m here — among the narrowest of the 677 cities tracked in China.

Between solstices the sunset walks 53° 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 W.

Across September the sunset moves 32 minutes earlier, averaging about 66 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Fuzhou

Arrive by 17:09. Golden hour opens at 17:24 and the sun is down by 17:55, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 269° 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 18:09 and runs to 18:18, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
