About the time in Zhongzhou
Sunrise today lands at 05:53 and sunset at 06:50 local time, giving 12h 56m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (27.93, 115.16) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Zhongzhou.
Zhongzhou 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.
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.
