🇭🇰 Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a densely populated territory on the southern coast of China, with about 7.4 million residents near 22 degrees north latitude. It keeps Hong Kong Time at UTC+8 and does not observe daylight saving, so its clocks stay eight hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time throughout the year. Situated close to the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere, it has a subtropical climate with modest seasonal change in daylight. The territory shares its UTC+8 offset with mainland China and much of eastern Asia, and its fixed value keeps the difference to other regions constant across the calendar, a useful trait for a major international financial centre.
