Guangzhou is located at 23.13°N, 113.26°E. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Asia/Shanghai timezone (GMT+8). It does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so solar times shift gradually through the year without abrupt clock changes.
Solar noon — the moment the sun reaches its highest point in the sky — occurs when the sun crosses the local meridian. In Guangzhou this falls around 12:26 in mid-summer and 12:17 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
