The clock: Guiyang keeps UTC+8. Guizhou province is over 90% mountain and plateau, which is why so many of its roads are bridges.
Guiyang lies at 106.6°E. Its time zone, UTC+8, is built around the 120°E meridian. The 13.4° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 53 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:53 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 13h 49m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 28m. The swing between them is 3h 21m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Guiyang the sun comes up earliest on 10 June at 05:59, while the latest sunset waits until 3 July at 19:51. 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 Guiyang that civil twilight runs about 23 minutes at the equinox.
