About the time in Taihu
Taihu sits at latitude 27.44, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 54m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:02 and sunset at 06:56 local time, giving 12h 54m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (27.44, 113.16) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Taihu.
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.
