Sunrise today lands at 05:37 and sunset at 06:26 local time, giving 12h 49m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (22.62, 120.31) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kaohsiung.
Kaohsiung runs on Asia/Taipei, which puts the city UTC +8 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
