Common questions
- What time is it in Hong Kong right now?
- The clock at the top of this page shows the current time in Hong Kong, updated every second, with today's date and the day of the week beneath it. Because Hong Kong is always UTC+8, the reading is UTC shifted by that fixed amount.
- What is the UTC offset in Hong Kong?
- UTC+8, all year: Hong Kong Time, abbreviated HKT. There is no summer variant to remember.
- Does Hong Kong observe daylight saving time?
- No. Hong Kong stays on Hong Kong Time (UTC+8) throughout the year, so the offset to UTC never moves.
- What is the IANA timezone for Hong Kong?
- Asia/Hong_Kong. That is the identifier to use in code (a database column, a cron schedule, an Intl.DateTimeFormat call), because it carries the full history of offset and daylight-saving changes for Hong Kong rather than one fixed number.
