About the time in Hsinchu
Sunrise today lands at 05:32 and sunset at 06:26 local time, giving 12h 54m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (24.80, 120.97) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Hsinchu.
Around 453,536 people live in Hsinchu, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Hsinchu sits at latitude 24.80, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 54m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
