About the time in Zhitan
Zhitan sits at latitude 29.62, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 03m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:42 and sunset at 06:45 local time, giving 13h 03m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (29.62, 117.31) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Zhitan.
Zhitan runs on Asia/Shanghai, which puts the city UTC +8 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
