Good to know about the time in Ürümqi
Ürümqi, the capital of Xinjiang, is officially on Beijing time, like the whole of China. But many of its inhabitants follow “Xinjiang time”, which is 2 hours behind Beijing: this is the time the time zone reference database gives for Ürümqi, and the one this site displays.
Trains, aircraft and government offices stay on Beijing time, under which the sun reaches its highest point around noon in Beijing; in Ürümqi, it reaches its highest point at around 14:10 Beijing time (mean solar noon, in winter). When arranging a meeting, you therefore have to specify “Beijing time” or “local time”. Time in Beijing
