About the time in Shenzhen
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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:02 and sunset at 06:51 local time, giving 12h 49m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (22.55, 114.07) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Shenzhen.
Shenzhen runs on Asia/Shanghai, which puts the city UTC +8 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
