Longest and shortest day in Harbin

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 15h 43m of daylight.

The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 3 months, with 8h 40m.

Between them the day length swings by 7h 2m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 15:48 on 10 December; the latest is 19:27 on 26 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 03:43 on 16 June to 07:14 on 2 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 13m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Harbin different

On standard time the sun peaks at 11:24, 35 minutes before clock noon, because the city sits near the eastern edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.

Light lingers for 30 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 6 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 45.8°N buys you.

Photographers get 57 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.4× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 7h 2m, one of the widest swings of any China city on the site.

Between solstices the sunset walks 70° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, NW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

By the end of September the sun will be setting 56 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 116 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Harbin

Arrive by 16:29. Golden hour opens at 16:44 and the sun is down by 17:24, 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 17:42 and runs to 17:53, the end of civil twilight and 29m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
