About sunrise and sunset times in Shanghai

Sunrise and sunset times in Shanghai are computed astronomically from latitude 31.23° and longitude 121.47°, shown in CST (UTC+8) local time using the standard NOAA solar position algorithm.

Sunrise and sunset are defined as the moment the upper edge of the sun touches the horizon, accounting for atmospheric refraction. "Civil twilight" begins ~30 minutes before sunrise and ends ~30 minutes after sunset.
