Five Time Zones of China
Geographically speaking, China spans five time zones, namely, Kunlun (UTC+05:30), Sinkiang-Tibet (UTC+06:00), Kansu-Szechwan (UTC+07:00), Chungyuan (UTC+08:00), and Changpai (UTC+08:30). For the unity, the People’s Republic of China has adopted a single standard time offset of UTC+08:00 after the Chinese Civil War in 1949. It is called as Beijing Time or China Standard Time (CST), eight hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). There is no difference between Beijing time and the SARs’ times.
Tibet Time Zone – UTC/GMT +06:00
As for Tibet Autonomous Region, it also follows this national standard – Beijing Time. But, due to its geographical location in the southwestern frontier of China, Tibet local time is two hours behind Beijing. For example, when Beijing is eight o’clock at night, local time in Lhasa is just 6 p.m. And most stores and restaurants usually keep open till 12 p.m. Thus, you’ll feel the night falls later than other parts of China while touring Lhasa.
