About Chengdu
Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan province in south-west China, famous for its giant panda research base, its spicy Sichuan cuisine and its teahouse culture. It is also a major centre for electronics, software and logistics, and an important transport hub for western China.
Chengdu uses China Standard Time, UTC+8, with no daylight saving, as the whole of China runs on a single time zone. Because Chengdu lies well to the west of Beijing, the sun rises and sets later by the clock than on the east coast, so mornings stay dark later in winter. Office hours typically run Monday to Friday.
