Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 10 Jul in Baoding?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Fri 10 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:12 Thu to 16:10.
Ekadashi ended at 16:10 Fri; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 10 Jul only, at 05:00: Fri 10 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:12 Thu, before it (03:24–05:00).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 11 Jul, 05:01–14:25
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 16:10 on Fri 10 Jul to 14:25 on Sat 11 Jul; harivasara ends at 21:44 Fri. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 11 Jul, 05:01. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:57.
The rule

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
