About the time in Guolou
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.
Sunrise today lands at 05:38 and sunset at 06:57 local time, giving 13h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (35.78, 116.39) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Guolou.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Guolou 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.
