About the time in Xichang
Clocks in Xichang 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.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Xichang day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 01:00–09:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Sunrise today lands at 05:53 and sunset at 06:41 local time, giving 12h 47m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (23.61, 116.33) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Xichang.
