The Time Zone Map
Made by Rossilite, LLC
Asia spans more time zones than any other continent, from Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) to Japan and Korea (UTC+9), with Russia's far east reaching UTC+12. China keeps a single zone (UTC+8) across five natural time zones, so the sun rises at 10 am in winter in Kashgar. India (UTC+5:30), Iran (UTC+3:30), Afghanistan (UTC+4:30) and Myanmar (UTC+6:30) use half-hour offsets, and Nepal sits at UTC+5:45.
Almost no Asian country observes daylight saving time today, so the borders on this map barely move through the year. Zoom in on the India and Nepal border, the China and Kazakhstan border, or the Russia and China border along the Amur to see the largest clock jumps on Earth.
How many time zones are there? 38 different UTC offsets are in use today, from UTC-12 to UTC+14, but the IANA database tracks hundreds of named zones because regions with the same offset often follow different daylight saving rules. This map draws a border only where the clocks actually differ right now.
Where does the border data come from? The open timezone-boundary-builder project, which combines OpenStreetMap boundaries with the IANA time zone database. The map is rebuilt with every release.
Is it free? Yes. No ads, no account, and it runs in any modern browser on desktop and mobile.
