Sunrise Across China
Among the bundled cities in China, today’s sunrise is 6:04 am in Shanghai and 8:36 am in Urumqi. The city pages calculate the event from each set of coordinates rather than assigning one national time.
The listed cities span about 23 degrees of latitude. That latitude range matters most to seasonal day length, while longitude shifts when the same solar event appears on the clock.
Terrain and a blocked local horizon are not represented in these astronomical figures. The calculation notes describe that limitation.
Questions People Ask
Is there one sunrise time for all of China?
No. The event is calculated for a point on Earth, so select the city whose coordinates match the place you need.
Why is the displayed sunrise time different between cities in China?
Their clock is the same, but their positions are not. Longitude changes when the event occurs by local clock time, while latitude changes seasonal day length.
