For example, if you drag from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM in Puli, that corresponds to 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM in New York the previous day during Eastern Standard Time, or 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM during Eastern Daylight Time, showing why a Taiwan morning call is usually an evening call in the US.
Export and share the selected time: Once a range is selected, use the export options for ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link. This is useful when sending a confirmed meeting slot to a buyer, travel group, or distributed team so each person sees the event in local time without manually converting from Puli time.
About Puli Time Zone
Puli uses the IANA time zone name Asia/Taipei, the standard time zone used across Taiwan. Its standard offset is UTC+8, meaning local time in Puli is eight hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time and aligned with the rest of Taiwan, including Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung, and Hsinchu.
Taiwan does not currently observe daylight saving time, so Puli stays on UTC+8 all year. That means there are no seasonal clock changes in spring or autumn, which makes scheduling more predictable than in places such as New York or London, where offsets shift when daylight saving rules change.
Puli is located in Nantou County in central Taiwan, inland from the west coast and not far from major transport links through Taichung. Time in Puli matches nearby regional business centers such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Manila, and Beijing at UTC+8, while it is 1 hour behind Tokyo and Seoul (UTC+9) and usually 2 to 3 hours behind Sydney, depending on whether Australia is on daylight saving time.

The local currency is the New Taiwan Dollar (TWD), which is used for hotels, restaurants, transport, retail purchases, and business payments throughout Taiwan.
