Time in Putian, China

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

Putian runs on CST. That places it 8 hours ahead of UTC (UTC+08:00); in a calendar, server config or booking form, select Asia/Shanghai.

Daylight saving is not observed here, so UTC+08:00 is year-round. Any seasonal drift you notice against another city comes from that city, not from Putian.

China is not on a single clock: the 452 cities listed here fall across 2 time zones, so times elsewhere in the country will not match Putian.

With a population near 1,539,389, Putian comes in 28th of the 399 China cities we list.

Current gap between Putian and cities people most often need to coordinate with. These figures already account for daylight saving where it applies.

Assuming a 09:00–17:00 day at both ends, these windows (in Putian 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 Putian, including through any clock change.
