About the time in Hefei Shi
Hefei Shi sits at latitude 31.95, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 09m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:39 and sunset at 06:48 local time, giving 13h 09m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (31.95, 117.28) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Hefei Shi.
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.
