About the time in Shantou
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.
Shantou sits at latitude 41.32, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 30m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:21 and sunset at 06:50 local time, giving 13h 30m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (41.32, 119.17) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Shantou.
