About Shenzhen
Shenzhen is a major technology and manufacturing hub in southern China, right across the border from Hong Kong. It was one of China's first special economic zones and is now home to companies such as Huawei, Tencent and BYD, along with the huge electronics markets of Huaqiangbei.
China uses a single time zone, China Standard Time at UTC+8, for the whole country, with no daylight saving. Shenzhen is therefore on the same clock as Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore. Because the time zone spans such a wide area, western China sees very late sunrises and sunsets compared with coastal cities like Shenzhen.
