Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:59 on 30 November; the latest is 19:50 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 05:59 on 10 June to 07:43 on 12 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Guiyang different

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:44, a full 45 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

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.

Photographers get 45 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.1× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

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 67 seconds a day.

At 1,087 m the horizon sits 1.14° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 5.1 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 10.2 minutes of extra daylight across the day.

Planning a sunset photo in Guiyang

Arrive by 18:00. Golden hour opens at 18:15 and the sun is down by 18:45, 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 18:59 and runs to 19:08, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
