Longest and shortest day in Zunyi
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 13h 53m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 3 months, with 10h 23m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 30m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:56 on 1 December; the latest is 19:52 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 05:56 on 10 June to 07:44 on 12 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Zunyi different
Clock noon and solar noon are 44 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:43 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.
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.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 53° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
Across September the sunset moves 33 minutes earlier, averaging about 69 seconds a day.
At 867 m the horizon sits 1.02° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 4.6 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 9.2 minutes of extra daylight across the day.
Planning a sunset photo in Zunyi
Arrive by 17:58. Golden hour opens at 18:13 and the sun is down by 18:44, 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.
