GREATEST CROSS BORDER TIME CHANGE


The greatest time change along a common border is at the border between Afghanistan and China. Afghanistan is one of the few countries to the half-hour versus Universal Time, specifically UT+4:30. China stretches 5,026 kilometers east-to-west, and yet it falls within a single time zone in its entirety: Universal Time +8. Afghanistan shares a brief 76 kilometer border with China at its far eastern tip. Anyone crossing between the two countries would experience an astounding three and a half hour time change.
