About Chongqing
Chongqing lies where the Yangtze and Jialing rivers meet, deep in southwest China. All of China runs on Beijing Time (UTC+08:00), so sunrise and sunset come noticeably later here than in Shanghai even though the clocks match. The city is built on steep hills and has a monorail line that runs straight through an apartment block.
There is no summer time in Chongqing; when Sweden changes its clocks, the difference changes by one hour.
