About the time in Gulou
Gulou follows the civil time used across its region of China; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Gulou sits at latitude 31.18, 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.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Gulou 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.
