Chengdu is a city in China, in Sichuan, with a population of about 20,937,757. It uses the China Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai).
Chengdu does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+8 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Other cities on the same clock include Shanghai, Chongqing, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin.
Because Chengdu lies at 30.67° N, 104.07° E, the length of the day changes moderately through the year: around the June solstice there are about 14 h 08 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 10 h 10 min.
