Longest and shortest day in Meishan
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 14h 4m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 3 months, with 10h 12m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 52m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:04 on 3 December; the latest is 20:09 on 1 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 06:02 on 11 June to 08:01 on 10 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Meishan different
Clock noon and solar noon are 56 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:56 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.
It takes roughly 24 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
Photographers get 46 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.2× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
Between solstices the sunset walks 55° 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.
Sunset drifts 74 seconds earlier each day this month — 36 minutes from the first of September to the last.
Planning a sunset photo in Meishan
Arrive by 18:10. Golden hour opens at 18:25 and the sun is down by 18:56, 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 19:11 and runs to 19:20, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
