Chongqing is a city in China, with a population of about 22,000,000. It uses the China Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai).
Chongqing does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+8 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
