🇨🇳 Ханчжоу

Roughly 9.2 million people live in Hangzhou, a city in eastern China near 30 degrees north latitude, south of the Yangtze delta. It follows China Standard Time at UTC+8 and observes no daylight saving, so its clocks stay eight hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time across all seasons. Positioned in the Northern Hemisphere close to the coast, the city keeps the same official time as the entire mainland under China's single zone. The fixed offset means the gap between local and international time never varies with the calendar, and Hangzhou reads the same hour as cities far to the north and west.
