About the time in Car
Car follows the civil time used across its region of China; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Car runs on Asia/Shanghai, which puts the city UTC +8 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Sunrise today lands at 07:35 and sunset at 08:36 local time, giving 13h 01m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (29.39, 89.31) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Car.
