Frequently asked questions
What is the time difference between Shanghai and Madrid?
It can change through the year because one or both cities observe daylight saving, so the converter above shows the current difference live rather than a fixed number. Shanghai uses Asia/Shanghai and Madrid uses Europe/Madrid.
What time is it in Madrid when it's 9:00 AM in Shanghai?
Type 9:00 into the Shanghai field above and the converter shows the matching Madrid time for today, daylight saving included. It also shows the Madrid date in case the time crosses midnight.
Does this converter handle daylight saving between Shanghai and Madrid?
Yes. It uses your browser's own time-zone data (Asia/Shanghai for Shanghai, Europe/Madrid for Madrid), which carries each region's daylight-saving rules, so the result stays correct all year.
Can it convert Madrid time to Shanghai time as well?
Yes — press the swap button and the converter flips to show Madrid → Shanghai, with the same live clocks and time picker.
