Current Time in Shanghai

About Time in Shanghai

Like the rest of China, Shanghai follows Beijing Time (UTC+8) year-round — the same single national time zone used from coast to the far western border.

Like the rest of China, Shanghai's working day overlaps well with other East Asian cities, briefly with Europe, and barely at all with US business hours — the Meeting Planner can find the exact window.

• Country: China
• UTC offset: UTC+8
• Daylight saving: China observes no daylight saving time.
