The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 13h 42m of daylight.

The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 3 months, with 10h 33m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:48 on 30 November; the latest is 19:33 on 3 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 05:47 on 9 June to 07:26 on 13 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Guilin different

Clock noon and solar noon are 30 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:30 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

It takes roughly 23 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

The shallow approach angle at 25.3° stretches this evening's golden hour to 44 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 3h 9m here — among the narrowest of the 677 cities tracked in China.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 52° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

Across September the sunset moves 31 minutes earlier, averaging about 64 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Guilin

Arrive by 17:46. Golden hour opens at 18:01 and the sun is down by 18:31, 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 18:45 and runs to 18:54, the end of civil twilight and 22m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
