What is the time difference between Beijing and Urumqi?

Theoretically, there is a geographical time difference of about 2 hours and 9 minutes between Beijing and Urumqi, because Beijing belongs to Dongba time zone and Urumqi is located in Northeast time zone.

Today, the world is divided into 24 time zones. In fact, 1 country or 1 province often spans two or more time zones at the same time. For administrative convenience, 1 country or 1 province are often grouped together. Therefore, the time zone is not strictly divided by the north-south straight line, but by natural conditions.

China is a vast country, spanning almost five time zones. But for the convenience and simplicity of use, in fact, only the standard of Dongba time zone, that is, Beijing time, shall prevail.

But the working hours in Xinjiang are different from those in Beijing. For example, Beijing usually goes to work at 8: 30 in the morning and eats at 12. But in Xinjiang, people usually go to work at 9: 30 or 10: 00 and have lunch at 1: 30 or 2: 00. In other words, the difference between work and rest is two hours, and it is still bright at 9: 30 and 10: 00 in Urumqi in summer.

Find the time zone of this place by knowing the longitude:

The time zone ranges from 7.5 degrees around the central meridian, that is, the east-west span 15 degrees. Take Dongba District as an example, its time zone ranges from 1 12.5 degrees east to 127.5 degrees east. Divide the longitude of this place by 15 degrees. When the remainder is less than 7.5 degrees, the quotient is the number of time zones where the place is located. When the remainder is greater than 7.5 degrees, the quotient plus 1 is the number of time zones where the place is located.

If a place is known to be located at 145 degrees east longitude, use 145/ 15, the quotient is 9, and the remainder is10 >; 7.5, Shangjia 1 is the area code of this place, so it is located in the east 10 area. If a place is located at 65 degrees west longitude, use 65/ 15, the quotient is 4 and the remainder is 5.
