Changchun built China's first domestically produced motor vehicle, a truck, in 1956, and the Communist Party set up its first film studio there in 1945, which is why the city is called both the automobile city and the cradle of the People's Republic's cinema.
The clock: Changchun keeps UTC+8. It was the capital of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo from 1932 to 1945, under the name Xinjing.
Changchun lies at 125.3°E. Its time zone, UTC+8, is built around the 120°E meridian. The 5.3° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 21 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:39 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+8 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 15h 28m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 8h 54m. The swing between them is 6h 34m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Changchun the sun comes up earliest on 16 June at 03:56, while the latest sunset waits until 28 June at 19:25. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Changchun that civil twilight runs about 29 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 36 minutes at the solstice.
