About the time in Shangen
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.
Shangen sits at latitude 18.97, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 42m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
