China Time Zone Guide
Beijing, the capital of China, is the country's political center and has served as the heart of Chinese governance and culture for thousands of years. The live clock at the top of this page is based on this city.
China uses a single time zone nationwide, based on Beijing; daylight saving time is not observed here.
Although China spans five geographic time zones, the entire country uses a single official time zone (China Standard Time) — an unusual choice for one of the world's largest nations.
