Time Difference


It’s well-established that there are altogether 24 time zones on earth and China covers 5 time zones of them. However, to avoid any confusion, all the cities in China use the standard Beijing time. Travel to China may cause some jet lag problem and it’s hard to connect your friends back home. Here is a guide to the time difference between China and other countries.
