While setting the timezone for a Django server, I made a stupid mistake in the settings.py file:
TIME_ZONE = 'Asia/Shanghai'
USE_TZ = True
There is nothing wrong with the parameter names and syntax. After loading up the server, Django keeps using UTC time despite the fact that I have set TIME_ZONE = 'Asia/Shanghai'
The problem is caused by placing TIME_ZONE above USE_TZ. The order of these two lines matter here. The right way to do is:
USE_TZ = True
TIME_ZONE = 'Asia/Shanghai'
