About Anyang time
Anyang keeps one clock.
Anyang, China, runs on China Standard Time (UTC+8), the same as Beijing, so coordinating with the capital is seamless. As one of the ancient cradles of Chinese civilization, its modern workday follows the national rhythm—early mornings, long lunch breaks, and evenings that stretch into the warm North China Plain nights.
