Common questions

How many hours ahead is New York of Hong Kong?

New York is 12 hours behind Hong Kong right now. The gap is not fixed: it moves whenever either side changes its clocks.

What is the best time to call between Hong Kong and New York?

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 Hong Kong and New York 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.
