About the time in Hoech'ang
Hoech'ang sits at latitude 39.08, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 30m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Hoech'ang 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.
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.
