About the time in Shantou
Sunrise today lands at 05:51 and sunset at 06:42 local time, giving 12h 51m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (23.35, 116.68) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Shantou.
Around 3,838,900 people live in Shantou, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Shantou sits at latitude 23.35, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 51m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
