Sunrise in Shenzhen through the year
The longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 13 h 31 min between sunrise and sunset; the shortest is December 22, with 10 h 45 min. The latest sunrise around midwinter (January 16, 7:06 AM) comes 25 days after the shortest day (December 22), which is why the darkest mornings arrive after the solstice. On the clock, the very latest sunrise of the year is on January 15, just before the clocks go back. Shenzhen does not change its clocks for daylight saving time, so sunrise moves only with the seasons.

Where to watch the sunrise in Shenzhen
Dameisha and Xiaomeisha beaches in Yantian district face the sea to the south-east, so in winter the sun comes up over the water there.
How these times are calculated
Times are computed for Shenzhen (22.55° N, 114.07° E) with the NOAA solar-position algorithm, for a flat horizon, in local time (Asia/Shanghai). They are usually within a minute of published tables. Hills, buildings and weather can hide the sun a few minutes earlier than shown.
