About the time in Dali
Dali follows the civil time used across its region of China; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 06:05 and sunset at 06:56 local time, giving 12h 50m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (23.12, 113.12) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Dali.
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.
