About HKT

Hong Kong Time (HKT) is UTC+8. It is used in Hong Kong, and matching mainland China and Taiwan.

Hong Kong Time is UTC+8 and has had no daylight saving since 1979. It shares its offset with mainland China, Singapore, Taiwan, Manila and Perth, which makes UTC+8 the most economically dense single offset in the world — roughly a fifth of the planet's population runs on it, and a meeting scheduled in it reaches an unusual amount of Asia at once.

About NZDT

New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT) is UTC+13. It is used in New Zealand from late September to early April.

New Zealand Daylight Time is UTC+13, one of the few offsets past twelve hours and therefore a full calendar day ahead of most of the Americas. New Zealand's summer is the northern hemisphere's winter, so NZDT applies over Christmas — the opposite of every northern daylight-saving abbreviation, and a common mistake in end-of-year scheduling.

Does this gap change with the seasons?

Neither HKT nor NZDT shifts with the seasons, so this 5-hour difference holds all year. That is unusual enough to be worth relying on: most cross-continental gaps move twice a year.

This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.
