As of right now, it is 7:47 PM on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, in Chengdu, Sichuan. The city operates on China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 year-round, as China does not observe daylight saving time. This means Chengdu shares the same local time as other major Chinese cities like Beijing and Shanghai. Because of its location in southwestern China, residents in Chengdu experience a later sunrise and sunset compared to eastern cities, even though they follow the same official clock time.
