Time Difference Between Buenos Aires and Shanghai

How far apart are Buenos Aires and Shanghai?

Shanghai (China) runs 11 hours ahead of Buenos Aires (Argentina). In practical terms, the working day in Shanghai starts while Buenos Aires is still in the early hours or asleep, which is what makes scheduling between the two take a little planning.

Best time to schedule a call or meeting

Standard working hours in Buenos Aires and Shanghai barely overlap, so a live call usually means one side joining early in the morning or late in the evening. The least disruptive option is to catch the very start or end of one city’s working day, or to handle things asynchronously.

A note on daylight saving

The difference shown here reflects the current offset between Buenos Aires and Shanghai. Because regions switch to and from daylight saving on different dates — and some do not observe it at all — the gap can move by an hour for a few weeks each spring and autumn. If you are booking something months ahead, it is worth re-checking close to the date.
