Time in Xi’an, China

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

Xi’an 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.

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

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

With a population near 9,600,000, Xi’an comes in 1st of the 399 China cities we list.

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

Where the two working days actually meet, expressed in Xi’an local time.

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 Xi’an, including through any clock change.
