Live Hong Kong time, sunrise, and sunset

This page shows the current time in Hong Kong on Hong Kong Time — a fixed UTC+8 with no daylight saving since 1979 — plus today’s sunrise, sunset, and day length.

A stable +8 makes Hong Kong a pivot for Asian market hours. Use the blocks below for the live gap from your city and a short sunrise/sunset outlook. Copy the iframe from Embed this clock if you want the same live face on another site.

Why Hong Kong is the Asian market anchor

Between Hong Kong’s morning and London’s afternoon there is a workable window most days. Teams spanning both cities usually pin recurring calls to Hong Kong time because it never moves.
