About the time in Sanxi
Sunrise today lands at 05:40 and sunset at 06:34 local time, giving 12h 54m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (26.11, 118.81) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Sanxi.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Sanxi day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 01:00–09:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Sanxi sits at latitude 26.11, 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.
