What HKT means
HKT stands for Hong Kong Time, UTC+8. It is used in Hong Kong.
It is a standard (winter) time. Places on HKT that observe daylight saving time switch to HKST (UTC+9) in summer, so HKT is a fixed offset while the local clock is not.
Where and when HKT is used
1 zone uses HKT all year. Computed from tzdata under the current rules.

How long HKT has been used

HKT converted to other zones
Every column is a fixed offset, so this table is valid on any date. Remember that the regions behind some columns switch to summer time (EST to EDT, CET to CEST, GMT to BST); the clock in those cities is then an hour later than the column.
