Time in P’yŏngsŏng, North Korea

Time zone: KST (UTC/GMT +09:00) — Asia/Pyongyang

P’yŏngsŏng does not change its clocks. The same UTC+09:00 offset holds in January and July, which makes it a stable anchor for recurring calls.

P’yŏngsŏng has roughly 100,000 residents and ranks 15th by population among the North Korea cities on this site.
