About the time in Shizhen
Shizhen sits at latitude 28.85, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 01m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:44 and sunset at 06:46 local time, giving 13h 01m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (28.85, 116.97) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Shizhen.
Shizhen 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.
