About Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China and one of Asia's great financial centres, home to a major stock exchange, a deep-water harbour and a skyline packed along both sides of Victoria Harbour. Its airport is a key hub between Asia, Europe and Australia, so travellers and traders check its time constantly.
Hong Kong runs on Hong Kong Time, UTC+8, all year round – it does not use daylight saving time. That puts it on the same clock as Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, Taipei and Perth. It is eight hours ahead of London in winter and seven in summer, and twelve or thirteen hours ahead of New York, so a call at 8:00–9:00 in Hong Kong reaches New York the previous evening.
