China is a vast country with 9.6 million square kilometers, and although we uniformly use the standard Beijing East Eight Time Zone, in fact, our land area spans 3 different time zones, resulting in a great difference in the time of sunrise and sunset in each province, and even the time of sunrise and sunset in some places is very extreme.
Sunrise and sunset affect people's lifestyles and schedules, some places where people have already fallen asleep, and some places that have just finished dusk and are ready to start nightlife. There are two strange cities in China, one is the place where the sunrise is the earliest, and the other is the place where the sunset is the latest, the former is at dawn at 2 a.m., and the latter is dark at 11 o'clock in the evening.
These two cities are Fuyuan and Kashgar, at the poles of the eastern and western ends of China, which also makes their working hours very different from ours.
Fuyuan is the pole of the eastern part of China, the first place in China to greet the sunrise, it is located at the confluence of the Ussuri and Heilongjiang rivers, is a small border town, opposite Russia. The specific place where Fuyuan first saw the sunrise was in a small town on Black Blind Island, where the sunrise began at 3 a.m. in the summer.
So the people here have the earliest schedule in China, they have already rested and slept at six or seven o'clock in the evening, if you get up at six o'clock in the morning in the summer, you will find yourself the last one, and the people here have already been busy.
The place where sunset lasts is the Kashgar region of Xinjiang, which has coordinates opposite to Fuyuan, in the westernmost part of China. Sunset usually starts at 6 p.m. in most parts of China, but in Kashgar, it doesn't get dark until 11 a.m.
Kashgar is a city with a time difference, their work and rest time is generally 10 in the morning and 8 in the morning, so their staying up late is actually a normal schedule, and it is precisely because of their late sunset that they were once known as "night owl paradise".
Many people come to these two places to travel to catch up with the sunrise and other sunsets, and these two are border cities, and you can feel the strong exotic culture. So, when can you first accept to see the sunrise? Feel free to leave a comment to express your opinion.
