About Guangzhou
Guangzhou ranks among China's notable cities, with a population of about 16 million. The city keeps UTC+8 as its standard offset, under the Asia/Shanghai zone. Like much of Asia, it takes its bearings from that offset. Come peak summer, sunrise lands near 5:51 AM and the day stretches to about 13 hours of light.
