About the time in Datong
Datong follows the civil time used across its region of China; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 05:47 and sunset at 06:52 local time, giving 13h 05m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (30.50, 115.80) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Datong.
Datong sits at latitude 30.50, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 05m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
