Questions

What's the time difference between Hong Kong and New York?

It depends on the date. New York changes its clocks for daylight saving time and Hong Kong doesn't, so the difference shifts by an hour when clocks change. The live clock at the top of this page always shows the current difference.

When is the best time to call New York from Hong Kong?

Aim for the hours when you're both between 8 AM and 10 PM. There are two good windows: the morning in Hong Kong (the evening in New York) and the evening in Hong Kong (the morning in New York). Every day of the year, 8 AM to 10 AM or 9 PM to 10 PM in Hong Kong are safe bets.
