Upcoming public holidays in China
Holiday data is loaded from Nager.Date. Regional holidays are identified when subdivision information is available.
Daylight saving time in China
Beijing does not change between standard time and daylight saving time in 2026 according to the current IANA time-zone rules.
Because countries with several time zones can have different rules, each city clock uses its own named time zone rather than one fixed country-wide offset.
Planning calls with China
The difference shown on this page is calculated against your current browser time zone. For a future meeting, use the date-specific time zone converter or meeting planner because the offset can change during daylight-saving transitions.
