Call Portugal from China

When calling internationally, it's important to consider time zone differences to ensure you're calling at a convenient time.

When calling China, note that the entire country uses a single time zone, UTC+8 (China Standard Time), despite its vast geographical size. The best times to call from most Western countries are early morning or late evening your local time to catch Chinese business hours (9 AM-6 PM CST), and remember there's no daylight saving time adjustment in China. Portugal operates on Western European Time (UTC+0, or UTC+1 during daylight saving from late March to late October), making it ideal to call during their business hours of 9 AM-6 PM, which translates to early morning if you're in the Americas or evening if you're in Asia or Australia. Keep in mind that Portugal follows EU daylight saving rules, so always verify the current time difference during the transition periods in March and October to avoid calling too early or late.
