What is the time difference between Hong Kong and the US?

Answer 1

The time difference between US Eastern Standard Time and Hong Kong Time (also the Beijing time) is exactly 12 hours - very easy to calculate!

If it is 9.00 22/09/08 in the US it is 21.00 22/09/08 in HK.

i.e. Hong Kong is faster than the US by 12 hours.

Answer 2

Hong Kong is 7 hours ahead of the UK from the end of March and then 8 hours ahead when the clocks go back at the end of October.
England (London) is at (Greenwich Mean Time) GMT. Hong Kong is (Greenwich Mean Time) GMT +8 hours, ie. 8 hours ahead of Greenwich, England. London is 8 hours behind Hong Kong. (Daylight savings not taken into account.)

Answer 3

It would depend on where in the US, since there are six different time zones in the US.

There are 13 hours difference between the times in Hong Kong and the closest time zone in the US on the East Coast, Eastern Standard Time. Then as you move west in the US through the other five time zones, you would subtract an hour for each zone.

Hong Kong is in GMT +8 time zone and the Eastern Standard Time Zone in the US is in GMT -5, Central Standard Time Zone in the US is GMT-6, Mountain Standard Time Zone is GMT -7, Pacific Standard Time is GMT -8, Alaska Standard Time is GMT -9 and Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time Zone is GMT-10.

Examples:

If it is 8:00 pm in Hong Kong, the time in the US Eastern Standard Time zone (EST) would be 7:00 am, CST would be 6:00 am, MST would be 5:00 am, PST would be 4:00 am, Alaska Standard Time would be 3:00 am, and Hawaii Standard Time would be 2:00 am.
