Sunrise today lands at 05:42 and sunset at 06:29 local time, giving 12h 48m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (22.06, 104.35) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Lao Cai.
Clocks in Lao Cai stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +7 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Vietnam.
