Calling someone in Boston from Beijing? Here's the time in both cities right now and the hours when you're both likely to be up. The difference changes when clocks change, so everything below is worked out live from your clock.

Aim for the hours when you're both between 8 AM and 10 PM. There are two good windows: the morning in Beijing (the evening in Boston) and the evening in Beijing (the morning in Boston). Every day of the year, 8 AM to 10 AM or 9 PM to 10 PM in Beijing are safe bets.
Orbit shows the people you love in the colour of their sky, so you can see at a glance who's awake in Boston, Beijing or anywhere else. It tells you the next time you're both awake, and you can leave a ping they'll see when they wake. It's free, with no ads and no tracking.
