About the time in Ch'ŏnwŏl-li
The zone identifier Asia/Pyongyang is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Pyongyang keeps pointing at Pyongyang time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Ch'ŏnwŏl-li runs on Asia/Pyongyang, which puts the city UTC +9 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Ch'ŏnwŏl-li follows the civil time used across its region of North Korea; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
