Time difference between Rome and Hong Kong

Hong Kong is 6 hours ahead of Rome

Rome, Italy is UTC+1 · Hong Kong, Hong Kong is UTC+8 — on standard time

The gap is not the same all year

Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Rome goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October and Hong Kong does not change its clocks.

Hong Kong stays put all year while Rome moves, so a meeting fixed in Hong Kong's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Rome's end.
