Zurich-Hong Kong Time Coordination FAQs
What is the time difference between Zurich and Hong Kong?
Zurich is typically 7 hours behind Hong Kong (6 hours during Central European Summer Time). When it's 09:00 in Zurich, it's 16:00 or 17:00 in Hong Kong depending on the season.
How do I schedule meetings between Zurich and Hong Kong?
Aim for Zurich late morning (10:00-11:00) which corresponds to Hong Kong late afternoon (17:00-18:00), or Zurich early afternoon (13:00-14:00) for Hong Kong evening (20:00-21:00) if both parties are flexible.
Do both Zurich and Hong Kong observe daylight saving time?
Zurich observes DST (CET to CEST), while Hong Kong does not change clocks. This creates a 6-hour difference from late March to late October, and 7 hours for the rest of the year.
