Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time difference between PDT and BJT?
During standard time, Beijing Time is 15 hours ahead of Pacific Daylight Time.
When does PDT start and end?
PDT begins on the second Sunday in March at 02:00 local time, when clocks spring forward one hour from PST (UTC-8) to PDT (UTC-7). It ends on the first Sunday in November at 02:00 local time, when clocks fall back to PST. In 2026, PDT runs from March 8 through November 1 — covering the majority of the calendar year.
Is PDT the same as PST?
PDT and PST are two phases of the same Pacific Time zone, not two separate zones. PST (Pacific Standard Time) is the winter offset at UTC-8, observed from early November through mid-March. PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) is the summer offset at UTC-7, active during Daylight Saving Time — meaning Los Angeles, Seattle, and Vancouver run one hour ahead of their winter clock for approximately eight months of every year.
Does China observe Daylight Saving Time?
Mainland China abolished Daylight Saving Time in 1991 and has remained permanently fixed at UTC+8:00 ever since, with no seasonal clock adjustment at any point in the year. This means the offset between Beijing or Shanghai and any DST-observing country shifts by one hour twice annually when those countries change their clocks — but BJT itself never moves.
How many time zones are there in China?
Despite spanning a geographical width that would naturally encompass five separate time zones — from the eastern coast at roughly UTC+8 to the western reaches of Xinjiang near UTC+6 or even UTC+5 — China officially mandates a single unified time zone, Beijing Time (BJT) at UTC+8:00, across the entire country. This policy has been in place since 1949 and applies to all 34 provincial-level administrative regions without exception.
