About the time in Chengdu
Sunrise today lands at 06:33 and sunset at 07:40 local time, giving 13h 07m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (30.67, 104.07) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Chengdu.
Around 13,568,357 people live in Chengdu, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
The zone identifier Asia/Shanghai is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Shanghai keeps pointing at Shanghai time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
