About the time zone in Wuhan
Wuhan is in China and keeps time using the IANA time zone Asia/Shanghai. Its clocks stay at UTC+8 throughout the year — Wuhan does not use daylight saving time, so only other cities' clock changes affect your time difference with it.
A quick reference: when it is 12:00 UTC, the local time in Wuhan is 20:00 in January and 20:00 in July. The two match because the offset never changes.
