2 How to change timezone in Linux

But the timezone is not correct, so I need change the timezone in Linux.

First, you should know there is how many zone in Linux.

$ timedatectl list-timezones
Africa/Abidjan
Africa/Accra
Africa/Addis_Ababa
Africa/Algiers
Africa/Asmara
Africa/Bamako
Africa/Bangui
Africa/Banjul
Africa/Bissau
Africa/Blantyre
Africa/Brazzaville
Africa/Bujumbura
Africa/Cairo
...

And you choose a timezone to set in your Linux with the following command:

$ sudo timedatectl set-timezone <your timezone name>
# for example
$ sudo timedatectl set-timezone Asia/Shanghai
