About Chengdu
Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan province in China. The 2020 census counted 20,937,757 residents, which makes it the fourth most populous city in the country. It lies in central Sichuan on the Chengdu Plain, and the Jin River flows through it. The Sanxingdui culture was among its prehistoric settlers. In 2011 UNESCO recognised Chengdu as a city of gastronomy. Chengdu uses UTC+8 all year. There is no daylight saving, so the offset never changes. Beijing and Singapore have the same time all year. New York is 13 hours behind Chengdu in January and 12 hours behind in July.
