Common questions

How many hours ahead is Dayton of Guangzhou?

Dayton is 12 hours behind Guangzhou right now. The gap is not fixed: it moves whenever either side changes its clocks.

What is the best time to call between Guangzhou and Dayton?

There is no hour inside working hours in both cities. 05:00–06:00 your time (17:00 there) is the cheapest compromise, and one side is taking a shoulder hour.

Do Guangzhou and Dayton change clocks on the same date?

Only one of them does, so the gap between them changes twice a year even though neither city moved relative to the sun.
