Open Meeting Planner →What Seoul and Beijing have in common is finance; that is the usual reason for a call between them. Put simply, when it is 09:00 in Beijing it is already 1 hour later in Seoul.
The working week is Monday to Friday on both sides: roughly 09:00–18:00 in Seoul and 09:00–18:00 in Beijing. Watch for Seollal (three days around Lunar New Year, January or February) and Chuseok (three days in September or October) in Seoul and Chinese New Year (seven days in January or February) and National Day Golden Week (1–7 October) in Beijing. Replies slow in Seoul during Chuseok and in Beijing during the Chinese New Year fortnight and the October Golden Week.
Book between 10:00–17:00 in Seoul (09:00–16:00 in Beijing); 7 hours of overlap means neither side takes the call early or late. Neither city observes daylight saving, so the gap holds all year.
Seoul is 1 hour ahead of Beijing. The gap is the same all year.
10:00–17:00 Seoul time, which is 09:00–16:00 in Beijing — the 7-hour stretch when both are inside 09:00–17:00.
No. Neither city observes daylight saving, so the difference never changes.
The ones that most often surprise the other side are Seollal (three days around Lunar New Year, January or February) and Chuseok (three days in September or October) in Seoul and Chinese New Year (seven days in January or February) and National Day Golden Week (1–7 October) in Beijing.
