About the time in Harbin
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 04:40 and sunset at 06:33 local time, giving 13h 53m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (45.75, 126.65) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Harbin.
Harbin sits at latitude 45.75, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 53m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
