Add comparison cities with the “+ Add City” button: Click + Add City and search for cities such as New York, London, and Dubai if you handle US client communication, UK sourcing, or Gulf trade logistics. You could also add Tokyo for East Asia coordination or Sydney for APAC operations, since Zhangzhuang follows China Standard Time year-round and comparing these cities helps spot overlapping office hours quickly.
Drag across the grid to select a meeting window: Click Select, then drag on Zhangzhuang’s row from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM to highlight a purple range, and use the side handles if you want to widen or narrow the slot. That visual selection immediately shows that 9:00 AM in Zhangzhuang is 1:00 AM in London during UK winter, 2:00 AM during UK summer, and 8:00 PM the previous day in New York during US daylight time, which helps confirm whether a China morning meeting is practical for overseas teams.
Export the selected time for scheduling: After selecting the range, use the export options for ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link depending on how you coordinate the event. For example, an ICS file is useful for sending a confirmed production review to partners, while a share link works well for remote teams who need to compare Zhangzhuang with their own local time before accepting the meeting.
