|
|
|
|
# I found there are some mistakes for the historial DST rule for Hong |
|
|
|
|
# Kong. Accoring to the DST record from Hong Kong Observatory (actually, |
|
|
|
|
# it is not [an] observatory, but the official meteorological agency of HK, |
|
|
|
|
# and also serves as the official timing agency), there are some missing |
|
|
|
|
# and incorrect rules. Although the exact switch over time is missing, I |
|
|
|
|
# think 3:30 is correct. The official DST record for Hong Kong can be |
|

|
|
# obtained from |
