About Chizhou time
Chizhou keeps one clock.
Chizhou is a quieter corner of eastern China where the workday follows the steady rhythm of the Yangtze River—starting early with morning tea and wrapping up before the evening mist rolls in. Colleagues here keep to China Standard Time year-round, so there’s no clock-shifting confusion, just a reliable 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. flow that syncs seamlessly with Shanghai and the rest of the country.
