About the time in Guangdong
Clocks in Guangdong stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +8 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in China.
Around 126,012,510 people live in Guangdong, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Guangdong sits at latitude 23.50, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 51m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
