About the time in Gaotai
Gaotai follows the civil time used across its region of China; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Gaotai sits at latitude 40.38, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 32m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
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.
