Current Time in Tianjin, China

How Tianjin Keeps Time

Tianjin keeps CST, UTC+8. The live clock normally synchronizes to the site time source and then applies the IANA rules for Tianjin; until synchronization succeeds, it uses the device clock as a fallback. Daylight-saving changes are applied only where that zone actually observes them.

Tianjin runs on the Asia/Shanghai zone in the IANA time zone database, which is UTC+8 right now. There is no daylight saving here, so that offset holds all year and the difference to other places only changes when they move their own clocks.

The sun rises in Tianjin at 6:32 am today and sets at 5:16 pm — 10 hours 45 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 11:54 am. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (39.34, 117.36), so they shift a little every day of the year.

On the two solstices, Tianjin has about 14 hours 57 minutes of daylight in June and 9 hours 24 minutes in December. The difference is about 5 hours 33 minutes, which shows how strongly the local daylight cycle changes through the year.

The whole of China keeps one time, so the clock on this page is also the clock in Beijing and in every other city listed below.
