About the time in Xi’an
Xi’an follows the civil time used across its region of China; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 06:19 and sunset at 07:10 local time, giving 12h 50m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (24.49, 109.50) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Xi’an.
Clocks in Xi’an 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 China.
