China Standard TimeAsia/ShanghaiNo DST
Chongqing learned its work clock from trade, government, and whoever paid for the first telegraph. Today that clock is Asia/Shanghai, UTC+8 in January. Mountain city, national timezone. Foggy mornings are not an excuse for 07:00 pings. The polite window around Jiefangbei / Jiangbeizui is 09:00–18:00 local. Treat overtime glow as scenery, not consent. Chongqing does not shift for daylight saving; the clock stays UTC+8 all year. Daylight is honest here; if it looks like evening, it probably is.
