Time in Chaozhou, China

Time zone: CST (UTC/GMT +08:00) — Asia/Shanghai

The local standard in Chaozhou is CST — UTC+08:00, or 8 hours ahead of UTC. Systems that store time zones by name use Asia/Shanghai for this part of the world.

There is no daylight saving in Chaozhou. UTC+08:00 applies all year, so the offset never moves on this side — only the other party's clock changes.

Chaozhou is one of 452 China cities here, spread over 2 time zones; do not assume the rest of the country reads the same clock.

Chaozhou has roughly 1,750,945 residents and ranks 19th by population among the China cities on this site.

How Chaozhou lines up against other major centres at this moment — the numbers move when either side changes its clocks.

Assuming a 09:00–17:00 day at both ends, these windows (in Chaozhou local time) fall inside working hours for both cities.

No shared working window exists with New York, Los Angeles or Sao Paulo, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.

Same zone, same time — each of these sits on Asia/Shanghai alongside Chaozhou, including through any clock change.
