Best Time to Call China from Germany
When calling internationally, it's important to consider time zone differences to ensure you're calling at a convenient time.
Time Zone in Germany:
CET/CEST (UTC+1/+2)
Time Zone in China:
CST (UTC+8)
Consider business hours (9am-5pm) in China for business calls. For personal calls, evenings and weekends are usually best, avoiding very late hours.
Germany operates on Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October, so aim to call during their business hours of 9 AM-5 PM, which would be 8 AM-4 PM UTC in winter or 7 AM-3 PM UTC in summer. Keep in mind that Germany observes a single time zone nationwide, making scheduling straightforward once you account for the seasonal shift and calculate the difference from your local time zone. 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.
