Time in Dalian, China

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

Dalian keeps CST (8 hours ahead of UTC, UTC+08:00). Its database zone is Asia/Shanghai — worth knowing if you are scheduling anything that has to survive a daylight saving change.

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

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

Read this as: relative to each city below, Dalian is the stated amount ahead or behind, right now.

Overlap of a normal working day, shown in Dalian time — outside these windows one side is off the clock.

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

No difference at all from Dalian: the cities below share the Asia/Shanghai zone.
