About the time in Gwangju
Sunrise today lands at 05:56 and sunset at 07:15 local time, giving 13h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (35.17, 126.92) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Gwangju.
Around 1,411,357 people live in Gwangju, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Gwangju sits at latitude 35.17, 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.
