These notes are pulled from the city-context and reference-summary snapshots, so same-timezone cities do not rely only on shared UTC offset text.
Taipei: Taipei, officially Taipei City, is the capital and a special municipality of Taiwan. Located in Northern Taiwan, Taipei City is an enclave of the municipality of New Taipei City that sits about 25 kilometres (16 mi) southwest of the northern port city of Keelung. Most of the city rests on the Taipei Basin, an ancient lakebed. The basin is bounded by the relatively narrow valleys of the Keelung and Xindian rivers, which join to form the Tamsui River along the city's western border.
Does not observe daylight saving time. The UTC offset (+08:00) is constant year-round.
Taipei is listed in the dataset snapshot as 8 hours ahead of UTC (offset +08:00). 7 hours ahead of London, 1 hour behind Tokyo.
Geographically at longitude 121.53°, Taipei's mean solar noon falls about 6 minutes before civil 12:00 under the year-round civil offset — local sunrise and sunset run earlier on the clock than they would on true solar time.
Taipei sits at 25.05°N in the northern hemisphere — daylight runs roughly 13 hours 34 minutes on the June solstice and about 10 hours 26 minutes on the December solstice.
