About Dandong time
Dandong keeps one clock.
Dandong, a border city in China facing North Korean Sinuijim across the Yalu River, follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). Business along the river trade zone runs on steady PRC work rhythms, and sunset comes early in winter because of its northeastern latitude, giving workers quieter evenings for team catch-ups.
