About the time in Changsha
Changsha follows the civil time used across its region of China; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 05:54 and sunset at 06:47 local time, giving 12h 52m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (25.47, 115.52) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Changsha.
Changsha sits at latitude 25.47, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 52m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
