There is a difference between day and night time of 2 regions.

Thank you from the above friends, so you can see that the +7 time zone of Hanoi has a longer history and maybe 1 time zone is Asia/Hanoi. If you live in Vietnam, you will clearly see the difference in time in Hanoi and HCMC, in the future when Vietnam is more developed, it may be necessary to adjust the HN and HCMC timezone. Paul Eggert, I know that there must be some rules for forming time zones. However, I see many exceptions such as Shanghai and Beijing, there are many other places that I have not mentioned. I think Hanoi too full of criteria for a time zone, or you can consider it an exception. Why not?
