About the time in Taipei
Around 2,494,813 people live in Taipei, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 05:29 and sunset at 06:23 local time, giving 12h 54m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (24.98, 121.78) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Taipei.
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.
