About the time in Tainan
Tainan sits at latitude 22.99, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 50m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Around 1,856,642 people live in Tainan, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
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.
