About the time in Taoyuan
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.
Taoyuan sits at latitude 27.16, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 55m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:41 and sunset at 07:35 local time, giving 12h 55m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (27.16, 103.59) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Taoyuan.
