  • During Daylight Saving Time changes, this may shift to 5 or 7 hours

Hong Kong Time Conversion

Hong Kong follows the Hong Kong Time (HKT) which is UTC+8:

  • Hong Kong is typically 13 hours ahead of US Eastern Time (EST)
  • When it's 9:00 AM in New York, it's already 10:00 PM in Hong Kong

FAQs About Time Zone Conversion

Our time zone converter uses the latest time zone database and automatically accounts for Daylight Saving Time changes in different regions. It's highly accurate for current and future time conversions.

The United States observes Daylight Saving Time (switching between EST and EDT), while Pakistan does not change its time throughout the year. This means the time difference between the US and Pakistan changes by one hour when the US enters or exits Daylight Saving Time.

While our tool supports conversions for Bergen, it's important to note that the major city of Bergen is actually located in Norway, not Sweden. There is a smaller locality called Bergen in Sweden. Both Norway and Sweden use the same time zone (Central European Time).

EST (Eastern Standard Time) is UTC-5, used during standard time in the eastern United States. EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) is UTC-4, used during Daylight Saving Time in the same region. The US typically switches from EST to EDT in March and back to EST in November.

With a significant time difference (typically 12-13 hours), finding overlapping business hours between New York and Hong Kong can be challenging. Consider early morning meetings in New York (7-9 AM EDT), which would be evening in Hong Kong (7-9 PM HKT). Use our converter to find the optimal meeting time for both parties.
