Shanghai (rank #1 by population in this dataset) sits at Asia/Shanghai (CST, UTC+08:00) with roughly 24.9M residents, anchoring local-time questions for Çin.
The coordinates 31.22°N, 121.46°E put Shanghai roughly 3466 km from the equator in the subtropics of the Northern Hemisphere, which is why the page expects warmer-half daylight that stretches noticeably in summer.
Today the sun rises around 05:13 AM and sets around 06:30 PM in Shanghai — about 13h 17m of daylight. Çin stays on standard time here, so UTC+08:00 is stable through the year.
Huangpu (3 km from Shanghai) gives this page its nearest commuter and travel cluster, with 25 curated airport pages indexed for Çin.
Shanghai planners should mark 2026-05-01 (Labour Day); that's the next national holiday signal in view.
