About Jiamusi time
Jiamusi keeps one clock.
Blink and you will miss the brief Chinese summer here, as Jiamusi is so far to the northeast of China that the winters are brutally long—but hey, at least the official time zone lines up perfectly with Beijing (CST). Local businesses run on a strict schedule and the sun only graces the sky for around 8 to 9 hours in peak winter, so remote teams need to squeeze productivity into the limited daylight while the rest of the country powers away on the same clock.
