Time in Nanjing, China

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

Local time here is CST, which sits 8 hours ahead of UTC, written UTC+08:00. The canonical zone name is Asia/Shanghai, and that is what to pick from a time zone dropdown.

Clocks in Nanjing stay put. With no summer-time switch, the UTC+08:00 offset is fixed and the differences shown below only shift when the other end changes.

Across China there are 2 distinct time zones among these 452 cities, so "local time" there depends entirely on which city you mean.

How Nanjing 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 Nanjing 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 Nanjing, including through any clock change.
