About the time in Dongguan
Dongguan sits at latitude 36.68, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 19m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:35 and sunset at 06:54 local time, giving 13h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (36.68, 117.05) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Dongguan.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Dongguan day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 01:00–09:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
