About the time in Xinjiang
Xinjiang follows the civil time used across its region of China; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 05:54 and sunset at 07:28 local time, giving 13h 34m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (40.92, 110.38) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Xinjiang.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Xinjiang 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.
