24 Solar Term Dates by Year — China UTC+8

List the 24 Chinese solar term dates for a Gregorian year from 1901 to 2100, using China Standard Time (fixed UTC+8).

Solar term dates use China Standard Time (UTC+8). Only Gregorian dates are shown, without transition times.

Dates come from the Hong Kong Observatory’s Gregorian–Lunar Calendar Conversion Tables. They are listed for the selected year in fixed UTC+8, without conversion to your browser’s local time.

For 2024, Qingming falls on 2024-04-04 and Winter Solstice on 2024-12-21 in UTC+8.

The names describe the traditional Chinese seasonal cycle, not a local weather forecast. If a decision requires the transition hour or minute, consult an authoritative astronomical calendar. For dates far in the future, a solar term close to midnight may differ by one day, as the Hong Kong Observatory notes. Treat those dates as references rather than a guarantee of the exact transition date.
