About the time in Taichung
The zone identifier Asia/Taipei is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Taipei keeps pointing at Taipei time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 05:34 and sunset at 06:26 local time, giving 12h 52m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (24.15, 120.68) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Taichung.
Clocks in Taichung stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +8 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Taiwan.
